Weird crash playing WoL last night.

[=EXPEND=Dendro]

I installed second hand EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW3 Hybrid on saturday from a guy that used a few of them for mining. I installed it and updated to the latest drivers and it all seemed to run very well. I played all weekend with no problems. I also pushed up the graphics settings to high/max on most of the settings on IL2.

 

Last night while on WoL I played about half an hour and the mission rolled over to a new map (Moscow I think) where there was a lot of forest. Took off no problem, flew about 8 km from AF then bang.... PC switched off completely. Started up and jumped on WoL again took off and got to same area...BANG! This happened two more times and so I reduced my settings like grass and view distance and enabled Vsync. The mission then worked fine???

 

I tried a DCS Hornet quick mission (high settings) and it was ok.

 

I initially suspected my PSU (650W Corsair) but after reading up it seems its enough.

 

I am worried its the Graphics card but its not overheating or anything.?

 

ANy ideas how I can troubleshoot this and check whether its my PSU or a faulty GPU card. 

 

My system:

 

Intel i7-6700K 4 GHz Quad Core Unlocked 14nm Skylake Socket LGA1151
MSI Z170A Tomahawk Socket Intel Chipset Z170 LGA1151 Skylake ATX Desktop Motherboard
