My old GPU (titan black) died the other day so i bought a new one, a 2080ti. Now this is my issue: since i installed the new GPU my PC has been randomly freezing and forcing me to force shutdown. What can be the cause of this issue? I installed clean drivers and i didnt have any issues in the begging after installing it, i could even play games and stress test the system without failure. Now today i have been having said random freezes after logging into windows, these freezes happen 5-10 minutes after i logged in.

PC specs:
win10 pro 64-bit
intel i7 4770k
16 GB dual channel DDR3
RTX 2080ti
Ausus essence STX II
mobo: Z87X-UD5 TH-CF
corsair cx750 (750w)
 
Which version of the OS are you on? Latest BIOS update for your motherboard? How old is the PSU? Use DDU to uninstall your drivers and then install the latest drivers off of Nvidia's support site. Speaking of which, which version are you on?
