Got this issue after getting a new gpu about 3 months back. Id like to stream more but due to this issue it's practically impossible. After 5 minutes of watching twitch my PC just randomly restarts. Any help?

Is this an nVidia card? If so check your event viewer, I bet the driver is causing the issue.
I say this because I had the same problem.
Simply updating it didn't fix the problem I had to do a thorough driver removal (including removing device driver from within windows) then clean re-install the driver.

This was about 3 weeks ago, after I done this no such problem (touch wood).

barney_burgerbeansDo you use firefox? The same thing happened to me with AMD's latest drivers, and after switching to chrome I haven't had that problem.

no i use chrome. never tried firefox yet, and I don't think it's the drivers.
