Seems like it could be a power draw issue cascading to a driver error especially if it only happens with higher resolutions. Don't suppose you could share the error message, if there is one? Apologies if you've already shared it and I missed it.

    I'll also say that my last PC build used the exact same video card and it worked fine with less powerful components than you have. The only issue I've ever run in to were power supply related.

    Edit: Having done a bit of testing on my end the resolution does cause some significant power spikes during the title screen/login process. If you could try reducing the game's frame rate while increasing the resolution and seeing if it still crashes that would be a more clear indicator of whether it's the power supply.
    i cant tell if its GPU or PSU, doesnt happen all the time, but i have to keep powering down until it decides not to, otherwise the noise wont go away after a few mins, my PSU is pretty new.

    you might be on to something there, first i set FPS to 30 then i went back to my highest windows resolution being 1920 x 1080, the game was fine until i put it back to FPS 60 cap, the game instantly crashes.

    if i just use 1 screen it gives me the error but maybe its still not getting enough power from my 750W PSU.

    this might also explain why my PC gets black screen if i use 2 screens, regardless of which screen im using, if i use both at the same time and 1920 x 1080 and FPS 60, causes the GPU to need so much power until it gives up then forces my pc to self reboot.
