Question Motherboard problem?

[Haberdash]

Long story short here. While playing GTA v on my new PC I had to walk away from the PC for about 5 minutes. Upon my return I had a both monitors on a black screen. No response from anything including the power button. I waited several minutes and even tried the reset button on my case and it still would not respond. Meanwhile the GPU fans are probably running at just over 50% from the sound of it.

Finally I got the power switch on the back of my power supply and restarting it the power button worked and I was able to reboot with no issues. Two days later it has happened again and not while playing GTA. Now no matter what I do it will not respond out of this locked state. I have tried unplugging peripherals and everything else. I have tried resetting the bios by clearing the CMOS and went as far as removing the lithium battery for 10 minutes.

Am I on the right path in assuming a motherboard problem? Specs are below. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Actually could be a GPU problem. Can you try GPU in a different system?

I can! I still have my old PC. I'll update tomorrow.

It ended up being a board issue. New GPU didn't fit in my old build and I ended up testing it on a friend's PC.

Reinstalled a new Asus Tuf x570-plus because the local best but had it and problem solved.
