I just rma'd my GPU and waiting on the replacement, does this sound like a GPU issue to you guys? It can happen anywhere between 5 minutes gaming or 6 hours down the line, the screen hangs and is followed by red/blue artifacts (can still hear the game sound and YouTube running some music) which eventually resets the PC, I'm really hoping this is just a GPU issue but in a worst case scenario what can I expect, what can cause similar issues? Psu? ram? Motherboard?

I7 5820k 4.0ghz
Gtx 980ti 1450mhz
Evga supernova 750w
Msi x99a gaming 7
2x h100i v2's liquid cooling GPU/CPU
16gb ddr4 ram @2666mhz
Temps on GPU and CPU never go over 50c
 
Solution
A bad video card is the most common cause, but a bad power supply can cause it as well. EVGA is normally a decent unit.
