Windows performance recording may be useful since you have already ran the stress tests.
The challenge will be learning how to interpret the results of finding someone that is already trained on the troubleshooting.
It has helped me in the past.
Once it is installed you will open administrative command prompt and type: wprui.exe
On the pop up you will make customized settings as in the link.

Just be aware that there are a number of recent errors associated with it...The Corsair link installation was brand new over the last week in response to me trying to ensure that everything was up to date. The problem was occuring before that program was installed.

@philc43 I have uninstalled the app.
@zbook I am not certain what settings to use for this. I have a file created for it just doing a restart but I doubt that will give us what we need. What settings do I need to have to get it to autosave the information to disk when it goes down for immediately shuts off and goes into the normal boot process again?
Philc43 recommendation may fix the problem. So let's give that time to pan out. In case it does not the WPR has two methods. One is to activate at the time of the problem. The other is to have it run continuously and then analyze the recordings. Unfortunately the size of the file becomes huge making it difficult for posting and having others make the analysis. So you could change the logging level to light and change the logging mode to file. The problem that you posted was not related to boot (please comment if you are having boot problems) so for performance scenario choose general.
I have attempted to use wpr to try to capture 3 occurrences of this issue and it hasn't saved any files. i don't think I'm going to be able to get any data with this tool sadly. its there something else i can try to do to resolve this? I'm able to get the system to perform the action now when i do Gpu stress testing pretty consistently.
Is the problem that the WPR is started after the event rather than before the event? How come there are no files?
i start the recording, then run the stress test, then the system powers off and restarts. i would only be guessing but when the event happens because the system doesn't have time to save the file could be the reason that it isn't actually saving the data. I'm not at my computer currently but as soon as i get back ill check to see if im missing something
The challenge with WPR is finding someone trained to interpret them.
In your case I think you should perform these wpr so that when someone is found you can post them:
General
Boot
Shutdown
Reboot cycle
Hibernate /resume
After you complete the tracings please view this link and place your computer in clean boot.
If you have any issues with connecting to the internet (unlikely), change clean boot to selective boot. That is only checking the service that is needed for the internet.
What we want to know is are you having or not having hard restarts when in clean boot.

Gathering the different WPR Logs as we speak. I have done the clean boot before and it worked just fine until I started the GPU stress test. Once I did that is when it did its hard reset.
It does look more like a hardware problem. Some things to check:
1. Is the GPU seated properly in its slot?
2 Are all the power connections to the GPU properly inserted?
3. Have you checked all the connections from the PSU to the motherboard are properly made?
4. What temperatures are reached on the GPU, CPU, hard disks and MB? Use Speccy or HW Monitor.
5. Do you have another slot you can test the GPU in?
6. Make sure there is no overclocking set in the BIOS
