I built my PC a little over 8 years ago and have been running into an issue for the past year or so. Almost every time when I play games my monitors will go black (sometimes a solid color), then have a glitched screen for a few seconds (I'll attach a video), then come back to normal. It's always accompanied by a few errors in the Event Viewer that seem to say my GPU is resetting, reset, and then restarting. My specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel i7-5930K CPU @ 3.50GHz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Superclocked
Motherboard: MSI X99S SLI PLUS (MS-7885)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3200
PSU: Corsair AX series AX760 760W ATX12V
I'll compiled them here: https://pastebin.com/Aax5BBeQ
Also here's a video of the error in action I recorded for my friend. My PC doesn't normally turn off when I have this game crash, but this it did this one time I recorded it. Instead of turning off, it usually just comes back to normal with the game and my discord crashed (not it starting, but majority of the event):

(video has some strong language and weird angle, so viewers beware (sorry))
There was also a 4th event that says this right after the what I presume is the GPU finishing it's restart:
Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
If anyone has a good idea of what this can be I'm open to any kind of input I know my PC is old, but if I can hold onto it for a little long, I'd be a very happy fella.
I've tried a variety of solutions from online, here's a list of everything I remember doing:
- Using DDU to uninstall graphics driver and reinstall
- Switching my GPU to not be overclocked in NVIDIA Control Panel
- Switching my power management mode to prefer maximum performance (after checking this I switched it to consistent performance as I didn't see this option before)
- Switching my GPU slot
- Changing the power cable for my GPU
Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it!
