Since some time I have an issue with my relatively new computer (a few months old).
It decides to cut the power off OR completely freezes and keeps displaying what it was displaying already forever until I force a shutdown (sound gets turned off, no stutter). It cuts the power in certain games and it freezes in other games (seemingly). This all happens completely random, it can be after an hour of playtime, after 3 minutes, or just not at all..
In-game it's completely unexpected. No performance drops before it happens, all smooth. It just decides to cut off.
If I do not play games it never ever happens. Watching streams or so is all fine.
It however seems to occur whenever some action is made in-game (e.g. while taking a jump, or in e.g. Dota 2, the game ended, go to main menu -> power cut).
Anyway, first I thought about temperatures/overheating.
Temperatures seem to be fine tho.

Both seem fine.
All fans seem to be working fine, clean etc. without result.
Cold air is blown out of my pc at all times. (at least the front of it)
The computer starts up as quick as it always did, I never hear weird sounds, just a blowing fan or sometimes my HD which isn't anything weird.
Updating graphic drivers yielded no result either.
A complete malware scan didn't result in anything as well. (The malware scan takes up 100% cpu which didn't lock my pc up, by the way.)
I personally start to run out of ideas.
An interesting detail could be that I've recently purchased a new (primary) screen which I use together with my old one. Obviously attached to the same graphics card and it all works fine. I'm not sure if this is related and I doubt it personally.
The only thing attached to the power point is my PC and an extension cord where I've attached my two screens onto.
Thanks for your time,
