This started out of the blue no precursors or warning signs.

I went to login to Worlds of Warcraft and my machine just shut down when the login screen came up. Powered the machine back on and tried again, same problem. I figured maybe driver issue or some type of windows defender issue since it had just updated, so I updated my drivers to the latest 91.xx version and removed windows defender.

Rebooted and tried Half Life 2 this time. Same issue powers down. I checked event viewer and no sign of errors. Nothing is showing up as a problem. I checked device manager and everything is fine, no yellow exclaimation marks. I right clicked my computer - properties - advanced tab then went to startup and recovery and I uncheck auto reboot when a bsod occurs just in case it was occuring so fast that I wasnt seeing it ( which i've never seen before but anything is possible).

Still no go. I've had the card for 9 months and have the option to RMA it, however the quick shut down makes me think it could be power supply?

Has anyone had this issue? Ive check around google and found articles from 2002 and 2004, but they pertained to some dcom error in event viewer 10005.

Thank you for any input in advance.
