So I just ran Prime95 for 5 minutes. I reset the bios back to optimized defaults. Stock clock is now 4.3 ghz boost. While the test ran succesfully with 0 errors, my temperatures spiked to almost 100C and temperatures ranged between 90-100C. This is highly unusual. I delidded my cpu with LM and I'm using a Dark Rock Pro 4 Cooler. However I doubt my cpu runs at 100% during game and other benchmarks. Is this the problem?

My CPU is very lightly overclocked to 4.6 GHz @ 1.25 V. The PSU is new. I will try to test the CPU by resetting back to 4.4 GHz. Any recommendations for CPU/memory intensive tests?

Not manually. Core Clock/Memory Clock on afterburner is showing +0 right now. Base Clocks look to be just over 1500MHz with Boost around 1700 MHz.

Hi, I just built my first pc and I've run into a fatal problem with my graphics card. I tried loading into several games, but my computer kept crashing and restarting after just a few seconds. I confirmed that it was graphics card related after running Unengine Heaven benchmark, causing my pc to crash/restart in a similar manner to when I loaded other games. To my knowledge, my temperatures are completely fine <50C for both CPU and GPU, my PSU is quality/overkill, I'm using a DP cable to my monitor, and the latest graphics card drivers from Nvidia's website. I fresh installed windows 10 and have only downloaded steam, origin, heaven benchmark, and afterburner. What could be causing my games/benchmarks to crash immediately and turn off my PC? I'm desperate for a fix before I give up on this pc. Relevant specs: i7 8700k, EVGA FTW3 1080Ti, Seasonic Focus Plus 750W Gold 80+ PSU, 1440p 144hz monitor.
