In need of GPU help

I have recently built a gaming pc for the first time ever. Though the computer itself runs fine, whenever I run a game my pc will restart itself as the game loads or after a few minutes. I know the problem is from my graphics card because I can run games through my onboard graphics. I have already updated and reinstalled the drivers for the card an EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB SSC. I've downloaded EVGA PercisionX 16 and the card isn't running hot and works fine for every app but games I'm trying to play. Any help or guidance on this would be helpful. This is my first build and I'm at this point at a loss for what to do next. Thank you
