I finished building my new pc yesterday and everything seemed fine until just only the GPU powers off while everything remained powered on, I powered off my pc and turned it back on and everything seemed normal until it happened again. I've tried things such as reseating GPU and RAM, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers (I'm on the latest drivers) and even ran GPU stress tests and everything was fine. When it happened again I tried disconnecting the DP cable and plugging it back in and the GPU powered on again but it still powered off after being idle for 10 minutes, I also did this for every single DP port on the GPU to see if it was just a bad DP but the same issue occurred for each port. I then tried to see if it was even a GPU issue so I put in another GPU I had and guess what, the same thing happened, after this I put my in my main GPU and I tried disabling integrated graphics but the problem still persists, I can use my pc for long periods of time but as soon as I leave it idle for 10 minutes the GPU just powers off, and now I'm sitting lost and not sure what to do because I've tried literally everything. If anyone knows about a solution for this please help me out.
 
Solution
Not sure if this will help, but check in the Control Panel for the Power settings. See if under "Change Plan Settings - Chasnge Advanced Settings - PCI Express - Link State Power Management, and see if it is on or off. If on, turn it off and see if that does anything.
