I have a EVGA 750.What PSU do you have? That would be the area I look at first after upgrading the video card, and experiencing restarts while gaming.
Does the computer reboot when you are not gaming but watching videos or posting on FB or other desktop activity ?[/QUOTE
Okay after tries after tries and messing with the settings. I was able to make it work. All I did was set the MSI gaming app to Silent Mode. It was currently in Gaming Mode. It also has an OC Mode. Maybe it was causing an overpower issue. Not sure with what though.
I try leaving the fan on all the time on Gaming Mode, but it still acts up. Looking at the GPU temp, it usually stays in the mid 50s C. I'm leaning more towards the GPU, since I never had the issue, until I got this new GPU installed. Could it be bottlenecking or whatever that word is when you over over clock a GPU?If that small of a voltage difference fixed your issue, either the video card was overheating or your PSU must have issues.
You can rule out the overheating issue by using that same MSI app, and enabling your fans to run all the time (by default, they stop when under 60c on many of their cards).

Maybe the high clock doesn't go good with my rig. I have a MSI Gaming X RX 580. Before this one, I had a EVGA SC 780, and a Sapphire OC Tri-X R9 290. Both older cards didn't cause this issue.Bottle-necking is the wrong term. Do you mean that you think you overclocked your GPU too much, and it caused the odd issues when you played a game? What GPU did you have in there before this one? And for that matter, what MSI RX 580 do you have now?

I don't know either, but somehow setting it to Silent Mode did help. My PSU, I got it back in 2014 I believe. The RX 580 I just got for about a month. No issue like this until I got the RX 580.And it could be you have a RX 580 with issues. I have the same card, and mine had to be sent back because a bad fan bearing after two weeks of use.
I guess the easiest way to figure out if it's your card or something else, is to try it in another PC and see if the same issues happen. Outside of that, changing the preset profiles from OC to gaming to silent, shouldn't really have any affect on your cards stability unless you have bad temperatures. However, you said you are in the 50s while gaming, so it shouldn't be that either.
How old is your EVGA 750w PSU?
Have you checked event logs? Next time it freezes note the time them find relevant log.So this morning, I fire up the PC and try to play a game a Call of Duty Black Ops 2. The screen then froze. It did this like one other time also. I shut off the PC and restart it. Then play a game a COD Black Ops 2. Nothing happened, I was able to play a game.
As of now I have no clue. Seems like turning it to Silent Mode did helped a bit, but it did not solve it. Next time when it does it again, I will open up the PC and see if anything looks suspicious.
I might then also contact NewEgg and MSI.
