Right off the assembly line
I have been testing my GPU for issues, as soon as i start stress test on FurMark my PC restarts. IF i start my game (Dota 2) my PC restarts. I tried completely uninstalling my drivers and reinstalling them.

What could be the issue. Please help

Looks like faulty PSU. Answer me this:

1. What is the nature of the restart? Does your PC completely turn off and then turn on again after a few seconds or does it simply reboot immediately?
2. Does the restart occur when running your benchmark/games in windowed or does it restart in fullscreen only?

1. All fans turn off and after a second all turn on again. quick reboot like a power interruption.
2. It crashes in both however it survives a while when in lower resolution window mode. Yes it works normally and under GPU load it restarts instantly

Yup, your PSU is faulty. I had this exact same problem (I had Corsair TX650-M). The thing is that your PSU is unable to handle the load generated by your GPU. You can confirm this by replacing using a friends borrowed PSU.

Get a another PSU and check.
