Question Computer freezes and shutdown when playing some games

[Sleyzox]

Hello
So when I play games like Overwatch or Shadow of the tomb raider my computer freezes and weird pink pixels appears before the computer shutdown. It doesn’t happen every time I play these games.

Don't know what that is. Probably should get a better one.

Are you sure the psu is the problem?

Did you update the GPU drivers? I seem to recall that there is a driver issue with the 1080.

Yes I updated the drivers

Finally what I ended up doing was installing the Nvidia geforce hotfix drivers and so far it is working well
