I have problem with my PC when I play games. When I play a game (any game) my PC will switch off and 3 seconds later back switches himself back on again.

Let I start from the beginning, I have brought new PC stuff last year April and in June my graphics card and in August have installed Windows 10. Then in the beginning on of this January my PC did it for the first time. Thought it was maybe my RAM, didn't buy new ones yet. So I buy for me 16GB RAM and install it, problem was away for 2 months and return again.
Every time it happens with a game, I must switch my graphics card to another slot and then will never happen with that game again. Until I install a game later, not necessarily the first or 2nd one I install, but it will happen with another game soner or later.
No one could have help me and I have tested about everything, don't know anymore.
I think that it is maybe the graphics or motherboard or both.
If I take out my graphics and play on my on-board graphics, then everything is fine.

Never see this problem before and I worked with PC's for years
CPU - Intel i7-4790
Graphics - EVGA GTX 760 SC
RAM - G.Skill 16GB (F3-1600C9D-16GAB)

Please help
 


What you said there is some really nice information after you manage to test the gpu with someone else and you still have the same problem with another gpu then it is highly likely that your motherboard is dead.
