Yesterday I played Overwatch without issues, but now it crashes right after one minute. The GPU usage spikes to 100%, and the PC freezes. My graphics card is a GTX 1080 Gigabyte WindForce. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’ll consider potential software or driver problems, though it might also relate to power consumption.

You can measure the power draw by using a multimeter to check the voltage and current, or by connecting a power meter specifically designed for that purpose.

Reduce GPU and CPU speeds by roughly 10%.

If you lower the clock speed, they'll consume less energy. When power usage drops and your system remains stable, it suggests the issue lies with power delivery or an inconsistent overclock. Since you didn't reference an overclock, the problem likely relates to how power is being supplied.
