Basically the title. Ever since a few days ago, my PC randomly restarts (yesterday it restarted on its own after working just fine and ended up in the BIOS without my input) and then the nVidia control panel disappears. I will then try to open EVGA Precision and it will say, "No hardware detected!" Device manager says this right now, listing only one of my two 980ti's: "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"

When I went to Device Manager and went to resources, the one that had an ! mark said, "This device isn't using any resources because it has a problem." I then restarted, and then after a couple minutes the card came back up and there are no problems. But this will happen again, surely.

If I restart my computer, everything is fine and dandy. I reinstalled the drivers multiple times, using the newer ones and older ones. Any ideas?
