Blender 2.8/ Gtx 1080 Problem

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED, IT WAS A HARDWARE ISSUE! THANKS FOR THE HELP.

Hey, is anyone else having this problem: When using Blender 2.8 on my new PC (has a gtx 1080 card), blender runs fine for about an hour, but every so often, my audio and video will freeze momentarily, or jitter, and one of three things happens: a) everything goes back to normal for about an hour, until it all happens again; b) The screen goes to black and stays that way, or c) I get a blue screen of death.

Not sure what causes this (so I haven't submitted a bug report), but it always seems to happen when I'm streaming video (been using Microsoft Edge, since it's a new PC and I haven't installed anything else yet.). I think it also coincides with using Eevee, but I'm not 100% sure.

For what it's worth, here's my specs: CPU: Intel I9-9900K @3.6 GHz RAM: 32.0GB GPU: Nvidia Gtx 1080 8GB And it's all running on an SSD with Intel Optane.

I hope the bug is in the Edge browser or my drivers are outdated, or something like that. A big part of why I bought this PC is for 2.8! And I'm broke after buying it!
