Wasn't sure where to put this so sorry if it's in the wrong place. Specs are in the image link below.
I started having this problem over the past few days. One minute everything's running fine and the next my monitors go black, whatever sounds are happening (music/video/game etc.) keep going for a few more seconds then stop, but my system is still running. All the fans are going like nothing's wrong and I have to hold the power button to turn it off.
It started while I was playing around in a heavily modded run of XCOM 2 so I thought maybe I over did it. I turned down the graphics, and uninstalled a few things. It happened a few more times, but the next day it was okay. Then it happened again. I opened up the case and dusted it out (wasn't very much in there), but the graphics card was pretty hot.
I got HWMonitor just to look at the temps (watching videos with a chat program open);

Which don't seem that bad to me? But just a few minutes ago I was watching a Youtube video, nothing else intensive, and it shut down again. I opened the case again and the only thing that was really hot was the graphics card. Could It be overheating and causing a whole system shut down? While the game was running the GPU temp was slowly climbing, but to maxed at 77C.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
