CS:GO Causing Computer Crash

CS:GO recently launched a new UI named "Panorama". Ever since this update, my computer crashes quite often* (only while playing CSGO). I can't go a into a single competitive match without having my computer crash* at least twice during the match. When there was still an option to use the old UI, I had never experienced these crashes. I have monitored GPU & CPU temps, both of which are staying relatively low (no more than 70 C), and I have verified the game's cache files, and have even gone to the lengths of completely reinstalling the game. Nothing works and I'm not too sure why. I even installed the game to a different drive, thinking it might be a corrupted sector or something of the sort but the crashes still occur. I have ran multiple stress tests for up to half an hour to see if maybe it was a hardware issue but my computer never crashed during these tests. I can play any other game without issues (Some of which include Need for Speed, Rainbow Six Siege, Insurgency, and F1 2017).

*By crashing, I mean just shutting off randomly
 
Solution
Found the issue, my GPU was hitting its max temps during CS:GO and CS:GO only for some reason. Having the fans run at max speed solved this but I think a more reasonable solution would be to get some thermal paste
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
