recently i noticed my temps creeping up to where my cpu sits at 50C idle and my gpu sits at 45c idle. Now whenever i load a game it works fine then about 10 minutes into playing, my computer either goes to a gray screen forcing me to hold down the power button until a forced restart or it cuts to no signal with the computer still running when i'm unable to do anything unless i restart the system. I unplugged and replugged all PSU cords and even switched my GPU cord for a new one. I also took out my GPU to check for dust buildup and it was completely clean. my setup is only about 2 months old and has worked with no issues until this point. the setup includes a core i5-7600 with a msi rx480(8gig version) on a msi z270 krait motherboard with 16g of ripjaw ddr4 RAM and all powered by a rosewell 550w PSU. any troubleshooting help would be greatly appreciated!!

What are your temps under load? Use MSI Afterburner to keep them in check while under load. If temps are the issue, make a more aggressive curve in MSI Afterburner for your GPU and change your CPU fan settings in BIOS. Are your framerates lower than before?

my CPU temps under load are normal and my GPU temps are only 5-8 degrees higher with no noticeable change in framerate
