PC Crashing at high temps when playing games

[VelvetThunder93]

My PC freezes, like just completely locks, can't move mouse, sound goes, everything. I have to hard reset every time. The PC does this when I'm at high temps playing games. It's been happening ever since i upgraded my PC and i thought that it might have been the Gpu, because of the high temps so I had it RMA'd and got a new one and the PC still freezes at high temps. I've been trying to find a solution to this problem or a long time but never posted here before.

It is probably your CPU overheating, can you post your temps please?

Hi, I would post temps but I am at work just now. How ever the CPU does not over heat. I've had temps monitoring on my other screen as the pc has crashed so I can see it when it crashed. The CPU barely goes above 60 even under load. I have it watercooled. The GPU is generally between 80-85C when the PC crashes. It's an MSI 980ti 6GB. This crash only ever happens when gaming. I will post a full list of specs when i can. From memory though I have this:

Gigabyte Z170 board
i5 6600k
16GB Corsair Vengeance

85 is fairly high, so that could well be the main cause of your problem.

If not already like this, I would have your fans setup like this.
Intake: front and sides
Exhaust: Rear and top

I thought that as well, that's why I RMA'd the GPU and got a replacement and I still had the same issue. But I've had GPU's sit at around those temps before and i've never had this issue before.

What Power Supply do you have, just for the sake of ruling it out more than anything.

I have a brand new EVGA 850W Supernova. The crashing has been happening way before i got that.
