GTA V crashes with Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 2GB

I'm having a problem with my EVGA Geforce GTX 960 2GB.
GTA V starts, but when I load in the game, the screen goes black and my computer restarts.
I'm having this problem with GTA V, the rest of the games I own run fine.
I've tried a lot of things like, downloading older drivers, use lower settings, but nothing seems to work.
I've tried everything I read on various sites like Reddit.
I've never had any problems with my AMD RX550 2GB.
I've bought this GPU secondhand so, I don't have any warranty.

 


Specs:
Dell Optiplex 9020
Processor: Intel Core i5 4590
GPU: EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 2GB
PSU: Corsair VS450
RAM: 20GB DDR3 (changing the sticks doesn't have any effect)
Storage: Kingston 240GB SSD, 320GB WD Green, 240GB Toshiba hard drive.
OS: Windows 10 Pro, Newest update

So gtaV works fine on your machine when using an AMD 550, but not an Nvidia 960 and the 960 runs fine with anything but gtaV correct?

 

assuming that is, it sounds like something specific to gtaV or your card. Might just be your copy of gtaV where something small got corrupted that only affects your 960.  Generally software corruption would mean it wouldn’t run on anything though.  That it apparently does on the AMD card is odd.  To make it extra fun the Nvidia card seems to run other stuff fine implying the card drivers don’t have corruption either.  I don’t know where to go with this one.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

I have the same card (though not for long) and play GTA V just fine.

Which driver version are you using?

Other games have problems too, but not immediately, like GTA V.
The games crash after 30mins or something.

The graphics card is not overheating, so that's not the problem...
