After installing a new SSD, cloning the old drive and putting the new OS on it etc. i have begun to have issues.
First day of running - no problems playing video games etc.
Second day however, i have had multiple crashes only whilst playing video games. I now have 4 drives installed of various sizes and my immediate thought is therefore they are drawing too much power, and i may need a power supply with a greater wattage or to remove one of these drives. I have recently installed a case fan to try and stop overheating, so i do not think this is the issue.

I wanted to talk to you guys prior to tinkering in case it could be another issue i had not thought of, i am relatively unskilled in these matters!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Well it would help to know the spec of your rig. What make/model PSU you have and such. It is really hard to say with knowing what you are running.
