I upgraded my GPU from a 1070 Founders Edition to a 2070 Super. I uninstalled drivers, installed the 2070 Super, and installed its drivers.

Everything was great, saw improved FPS, but while playing Warzone my PC would completely turn off as I was deploying in the game. Turned back on no problem, but would do the same thing. Has happened 5 consecutive times.

I can’t say I’m the most PC part savvy. Any help is really appreciated!

My part list:
Old GPU: 1070 Founders Edition
New GPU: 2070 Super Windforce OC 3X
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X
MB: Asus ROG Strix B550-F WiFi
PSU: Corsair CX750M
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200
 
Solution
Current psu can't handle the new gpu. That's about as simple as it gets.
Typically, I'd agree, and initially was my first thought, given that the 2070 Super is 215W compared to the 1070's 150W - but the CX750M isn't a bad PSU. It's not my first choice, but it's not a bad one - this makes me more hesitant to think it's the PSU.

But, that said...
@loogey22 - how old is the PSU?
It was the power supply. I had put the 1070 back in and it started shutting off with it installed too. Installed a new psu on Friday and has been working flawlessly since. Appreciate your help everyone!
