Sometimes when I am playing BeamNG Drive my monitors will stop getting signal and my gpu fans will stop spinning and my radio app keeps playing but the games sound glitches out and I have to hold down my power button to turn off my computer and when I turn it back on it works again and I have tried reinstalling drivers but it still does this. How do I stop this?

Download Open hardware monitor and check your thermals and voltages. Also get aida64 and some sort of gpu benchmark such as Heaven 4.0 to stress test the gpu and cpu while monitoring the temps using open hardware monitor or the software built into the programs.

Today my graphics card stopped working again and a couple days ago I ran Heaven 4.0 and everything was normal and I think the 12v rail was holding but the graphics card didn't stop working. It seems to only happen randomly.
