So I just got an msi gtx 980, 600w power supply, and 8gb of ram installed on my pc. The problem is, my pc will just spontaneously crash/reboot after about 20 minutes of playing any game. I have been googling and I have a feeling it's a temperature issue but I don't know enough troubleshooting stuff to fix it. Do any of you guys have any tips?
Please someone take time to help, thanks
Dowload msi afterburner or asus gpu tweak to monitor temps of the gpu while you play a game, also make sure the quality of the psu is up to spec (what brand is it?)

Based on the fan app the gpu is running at 54 degrees idling(no game). I assumed the fans would work on their own out of the box but is there some set up I'm missing? Plus its entirely possible the issue is arising from something else maybe. Would the cpu clashing with the gpu be a cause? I have a quad core i52230
It's probably the Gpu which is overheating.
Download speedfan and crank dat mofo up while playing.
And clean your PC, Fans and stuff.

I thought that letting the fans do their thing on auto would be good, why would they underperform?
Also this happened both times playing hurtworld on steam, is it possible the game itself is the cause?

Found your problem.

That seemed reasonable enough for me and why would it start having problems right out of the box?

The fans will not run on my EVGA 980ti unless I have PrecisionX (evga's version of afterburner) running as a background process. You might be experiencing something similar.
