So recently I bought a new graphics card and middle of playing games it would just turn off my pc with no warning.

My specs:
Ryzen 1500x
600 watt psu bronze 80+
Rx 580
Gigabyte gaming 3 Mobo
2 sticks of 4 gig ram

Which graphic card were you using previously? and is there also a blue screen when the PC shuts down?

I doubt that is your GPU, I think you have a problem with your PSU, do check your pc with another PSU although 600w is way more than enough, there might be something other that is bad with the PSU. How long mostly your games run? Try this, turn down the game settings and turn on V sync, thats how you can see if lesser gpu load (meaning lwss power draw) helps.

Certain games like assassins creed and rust would shut off around 20-30 minutes of play time. So what I did was the gpu fans at 70% and it stills shut off so I put it at 90% but I'm to scared it might crash again so I haven't tried it. Some times over watch would shut off my pc too which is really surprising.

DOn't have any other psu but I do have my old 1050 ti

Edit: I tested furmark on my rx 580 and it shut downed instantly but on my 1050 ti everything was good so I believe it was my graphics card.

It could still be a power supply problem. When I upgraded my video card last year from a GTX 760 to a GTX 1060 everything worked fine until I went into a game. It then crashed. I requested a RMA on the video card but before I used it I replaced the year old power supply at the recommendation of the forum and the problem totally disappeared. I assume the problem was the power supply could not provide the needed power to the card even though the total wattage (650 watts) was way above what was needed. I have had more than one power supply die prematurely or be DOA.
