Lets start with I have talked to geek squad, gigabyte, networkers, Microsoft, etc. and NO ONE knows why I am getting random shutdowns.
I have a gigabyte UD 7 990 FX motherboard. I have an AMD 8350 processor which is an 8 core, a 1300 watt power supply, to 680 GTX cards in SLI not overclocked, to solid state drives and one hard drive both with a fresh install of Windows 7 Windows 8 and now windows 10. I also have an h100 closed loop water cooler.
 
I have backed down drivers on NVIDIA and went back to the most recent still with the same crash. 
 
Anytime I launch a game or as soon as it starts to render it randomly restarts. 
 
It is not a power supply issue I have replaced both the power supply the motherboard and the processor. 
 
I have also gotten into the Windows event logs and have not seen anything out of the ordinary. I have done dumps. I have changed the thermal compound on the processor. I have disabled audio drivers. 
 
I went over to my friends house and put his 780 into my computer and still got the same weird crash. 
 
Every once in a blue moon I will get a BSOD and it will say either whea uncontrollable error or watch dog clock. Out. I have checked the temperature on my graphics card and my processor. My graphics card runs under 80 degrees Celsius under full load, and my processor runs under 34 degrees Celsius under full load, so it is not the temperature. I have also unplugged all USB devices that I thought maybe the cause of the crash is then that didn't work either.
 
Have quite literally tried everything and I am at my wits end about this computer. I have asked everybody and their mother what could be wrong with this and nobody knows.
I forgot to add... weird enough the only game I can play (still with often crashes) is titanfall. Not sure if it's because it's last gen game engine... I try to launch call of duty advanced warfare and it crashes as soon as it renders in game content. 
 
I also did a benchmark on 3D and it crashed on the PHYSX portion of the test. All other areas were completely fine.
 
Any help would be grate.

Were the problems there back in Windows 7 and 8? Are you currently using 10? I'm a bit confused on that part.

Sorry if I got the wrong idea, but have you tried doing a completely fresh install of the OS? Try your old 7 or 8.1 and see.

On the other hand, here's an idea, your friend already lended you his 780 before to test, disconnect your hard drive, use his OS drive and start up the computer and try playing something. If it works, then the problem is either some sort of faulty software or a faulty drive.

My apology if you already tried this, though.

thanks for the idea I will give this a shot. I don't think it is the OS as I have tried all three. but could be a faulty drive or something.
