Windows 10: System starts to reboot as soon as any DirectX 11 or 12 games played

System spec...

Asus B85M-G motherboard (4th gen i7)
Intel i7-4770k
16GB DDR3 (2 x 8GB)
Nvidia GTX 1660 ti
Crucial 240GB SSD
Seagate 1TB HD
750watts PSU with 6+ 2pins PCIe
Windows 10 Pro with latest updates
Latest Nvidia driver and DirectX 12 installed
Temperature of CPU and GPU are operating within acceptable limit

Noticed the issue when playing Call of Duty: MW where the cutscene ended and the actual game started, the computer simply shutdown and restart.

Checked with FurMark GPU and CPU stress test, which is OpenGL based and passed with flying colours.

As soon as I ran DirectX 11 or 12 based GPU stress test, it failed and reboot the computer.

I have reinstalled Nvidia driver, DirectX 12 and even stopped the Nvidia background programs without any luck.

I was running Windows 7 Pro a week ago and all games like Rainbox Six, Call of Duty: MW, Counter-Strike ran flawlessly.

Can you guys shred a light onto this weird issue?

unable to play some games with directx 12

Hi,

I will certainly help you with the issue.

Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• 
  What happens when you try to play the games with the DirectX 12? Do you get any error message/code? If yes, then provide us the complete error message/code.
  

If you are unable to play games which doesn't support DirectX 12 then, you can manually download the supportable DirectX for the games.

I suggest you to refer to the below article on How to install the latest version of DirectX.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/179113

Some games comes with the supported DirectX application embedded within the game's application, so that you can install it manually from the game.

You can also try to open the games in the compatibility mode.

• 
  Right-click on the setup file of the game and click on ‘properties’.
  
• 
  Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8/8.1 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed.
  
• 
  Once this is done, Restart the computer.
  

Please get back to us with an update. We will be glad to help.

Thank you.
