GPU Wattage Problem

I started playing on a new graphics card recently and my games have been crashing on me more often. Does this have to do with my wattage? I put my specs through PC part picker but yet it tells me that it only withdraws 410w at max capacity.
 
Specs-
Motherboard: MSI Z270 GAMING PLUS
RAM: Samsung Green 8GB DDR4 2133mHz
Graphics Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 980ti Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
SSD: Crucial 120GB SSD
HDD: Western Digital 1TB
PSU: Seasonic 750w 80+ Gold

750W is good enough for pretty much everything. On that front you should be fine.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

in that case, what could the possible solution be?

I'm just gonna spit out a bunch of random ones it could be:

 

  • Graphics drivers
  • windows update
  • game update
  • temps
  • gpu broken 
  • You presssing buttons to shut it off
  • OC?
  • Overvoltage

Probably an overkill solution but have you tried reinstalling Windows?

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
