When I play games on my PC, eventually my PC will crash to a black screen. The PC is still running, as is the monitor, but it just says "No Source" - so, I'm not getting an image, and I have to turn off my computer.
My Rig:
Dell Precision T3610
GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 SC
RAM: 8GB
HDD: 1TB
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-1607 3.00 GHz
PSU: 675w
OS: Windows 10
I first bought my PC for Univeristy purposes as I was starting an Computer Animation course, and at that point I didn't intend to play games on it as I play most of my games on my Xbox/PS4. I bought the Dell Precision T3610 from the Dell website and it originally came with the Quadro K600 graphics crad, which was fine for my Univeristy course. It did originally come with a 500GB hard drive, but it wasn't working, so they then sent me a 1Tb hard drive instead.
As I have said, the PC will eventually crash no matter what game I play. At first, I thought it was just a gaming issue, but there have been times where it crashes when I'm not playing games and am just searching the web - although it does take much longer.
When I had my K600 installed, it never crashed when searching the web. I was able to play some games, like Rocket League, at quite low settings, but even then it wouldn't crash. I would then think that it's an issue with my Evga GTX 1060 Sc, but a couple of months ago I had an Evga GTX 970 Sc, and it used to crash then - so it can't be a GPU issue, right?
I've read/heard that the PSU that the computer came with originally, is more than enough for the GTX 1060 - The Nvidia geforce website says 400w is the minimum system requirement.
Things that I've tried:

Things that I've tried:
Unistalling/Re-installing graphics drivers
Updating drivers
Trying old Graphics Drivers
Unistalling/Re-installing GPU within the case itself
Unparking CPU cores
Unistalling un-necessary software
Tweaking things on the system that will improve performance (E.g. Disabling animations)
Changing things in the NVidia Control Panel
Updating Bios
Opening the PC Case (allowing for more heat to leave the PC - I also opened the windows in my room, so my room was quite cold)
