Question PC instantly SDs and reboots, but only with modern games.

Hey there, everyone!

I was hoping I could find a potential solution for my, seemingly; unique issue that has arisen as of the past few weeks with my gaming rig.

If I attempt to launch any modern games, such as Diablo II: Ressurected, Homeworld: Remastered or Sea of Thieves -- my entire system will shut down and reboot to my desktop login.
If I attempt to launch any classic games, such as Morrowind, Homeworld: Classic or Diablo II Classic, it will run perfectly fine with zero problems even after extended hours of being run.

I have attempted to use a new and higher wattage PSU to see if the problem would fix, and it still persists.
I have attempted to stress test my GPU using various programs, and those all work perfectly fine and doesn't crash the PC.


It happens exclusively when launching modern games. Could this be a faulty/failing GPU?
