What killed my GPUs?

For a long time, my pc would randomly restart, either showing nothing in the monitor (though it didn't say that there was no connection, there just wasn't any image) or crashing before windows started (I could spend as much time as I wanted in the BIOS, but if I started windows, it would freeze while loading). In these situations, when I got the pc running after waiting some time and restarting it, the Windows Event Viewer showed an error 41 Kernel-Power 63.
The first one (Zotac GTX960) was used for gaming and video editing, but not under a heavy load for much of its use. Temps were also fine.
The second one (Gigabyte GTX1060) was used for gaming, but less than the previous one since I didn't have much spare time as before and it wasn't getting over 70ºC while gaming.
Last weekend I disconnected the GPU and now it works just fine, with no crashes or anything. This is not the first time this happened, my first GPU (Zotac GTX 960) also had the same problem, with this same pc, after the same 2 year period, and then it died. I bought a Gigabyte GTX1060 6GB Windforce and the same thing happened now.
The 1060 fans were working.
What could have killed them?
