Got a new gpu (Rx-480) and after getting drivers and everything set up, i downloaded elite dangerous, played 5 minutes, and suddenly my entire pc shutdown. This happened two more times before i went to ask some questions and the main replies were "Check your psu" and "Check your tempature." 

My psu is brand new, so no problems there but i checked my temp and noticed something strange. My rx 480 is at 80c but the fan WILL NOT RUN. Ive tried using AMD's wattman program to get the fan spinning but it isnt working. Please someone help.

You might want to check if it's obvious there's a connector loose. What PSU are you using?

If there's no obvious problem, RMA it.

I edit my posts a lot.

To fix this you would probably have to disassemble the graphicscard. With that you would void your warranty. So contact the support and let them do it so you still have your warranty

It can probably be fixed, but not very easily by the consumer. Its much easier to send it back to the factory to let them fix the problem.
