    Just a note.
    DIY troubleshooting is not about getting  the eaxct solution on the first guess. Rather, we make best use of resorces we hand that  do not use a lot of time and money.
    So, even using the on-bord might seem like a poor choice, it is quick and easy to do and just might do something different taht may lead in another direction.
    Also, for DIY troubleshooting,  a spare PSU is very handy to have.
    One more thing, removing extra RAM and the GPu lowers power cinsumption and improves stability of the power distribution.
    Just sahying....  8)

    Don't matter if onboard could or couldn't...it would eliminate the card as the culprit...

    If the system worked for the Repair shop then I would guess the issue is related to your home setup. For all we know the PC is shutting off when somebody turns on the Microwave or Electric Kettle in the other room which causes power to drop off temporarily.

    of course, a new PSU could cope with that situation better, but it's something that a PC shop simply wouldn't see.

      Well im not sure about that @BC_Programmer, as it only crashes when playing games, they didnt run any games, just left it idle?

      You need to find out if it is the Graphics card. Intense gaming makes the Graphics card overheat and can make the syistem crash.
      Do you have any wy to monitor the temp of the GPU?

      GPU Temp
      GPU Temp is a free GPU temperature monitor that can display GPU core temperature and load, the temperature data will display in the system tray, and will be real-time updated. In addition, you can choose the color for temperature display, also supports start with the Windows system.
      It does not work on all cards.  :(

      Just a heads up that a video card might only draw 70 watts idle or surfing the web etc, but the minute you start running complex games, that video card can suddenly pull around 300 watts or more pointing out a weak power supply that cant cope with the heavy demands when it suddenly drops out.  With all other hardware also requiring power it can pull upwards of 465 watts total power. :-\   Still Got my wager placed on power supply as the cause.  ;D
