About 2 months ago I over clocked my PC and then last week I got the new windows update, which then started to put the PC into a boot loop when I first booted it up which I was able to correct and reinstall windows, however a new problem has come up where as soon as the GPU is under the slightest amount of strain when playing games such as Rainbow 6 siege, the GPU fan speeds up to what sounds like more than it was built to do and then my PC freezes and then shuts off, however it doesn't power off all the way but won't boot back up unless I force power it off and turn it on. I’ve reinstalled windows, deleted all my old files, downloaded a game ready driver, reset the overclocked settings back to default, but none of these solutions have worked. The PC is a custom build I did 3 years ago and I ran Warzone, Cold-war, Rainbow-6-seige, and Forza Horizon 4 on it with ease. The only recent change it has had is a replacement for the case fans, a replacement GPU fan, and I also moved the RAM stick over a slot. I powered off the PC completely from the shutoff button on the windows home screen and then used the switch on the back of the case to completely cut off all power from the system so there isn't any problems with the RAM being disconnected when there was power to the system. If anyone has any solutions or idea of what the problem is please let me know.
