Pc crashing mid game

Sorry if this is in the wrong place couldn't find anywhere else to post this.

I recently bought this pc, just over 2 weeks ago (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...-8gb-graphics-three-free-games-fs-1aq-og.html) With rx vega 56 and 16gb of ram. I installed windows myself and bought a code of amazon. I have not overclocked anything and everything is still on base settings, I also downloaded all the drivers.

Starting 2 days ago whenever my pc is under heavy load (games that caused it to crash are overwatch and arma 3, have not tested any others.) it will crash my whole pc. The pc will remain turned on however the connection to monitor and my headset both cuts off, leading to me having to restart my pc. It constantly happens.

If anyone has a solution or potential fix then please help.

To be honest you're still under warranty. I'd start by calling OCUK

Look up undervolting vega, my Vega64 used to do this a lot, was doing my head in, undervolt cured it, theres loads of video's on youtube about it and it wont affect your warranty as its controlled by software and wont put any added stress on parts.

Which particular Vega56 card did you go for ? please tell me not the ASUS, ASUS messed up big time with Vega, they were the worst, the best was Sapphire.
