Thank you all for helping! I tested my 980ti at a friend's place and it is dead.. (probably a blown capacitor or something of the sort because it emits an unpleasant smell).
Update #2: I managed to change the Overwatch setting to 1080p 60 FPS to reduce the GPU load down to about an average of 30%, and I've been playing for just over an hour without issue. So it seems that something in my system that has issue with high GPU load.
