I've had my computer for over a year and I didn't really use it much for the first 6 months. However 6 months ago I got back into PC gaming and discovered that my computer would occasionally crash during game play. The crash is different depending on what game I am playing however for the majority of the games my computer will freeze and in order to exit the game I will have to close it in task manager. I have tried replacing my graphics card, updating every kind of driver you can think of, downgrading to older drivers, re-installing windows, testing different slots for ram and my graphics card and testing different hard drives. A game will crash once per hour on average though it can differ. I'm really fed up with this and any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I'd go with a Corsair GS800, that'll give you plenty of wattage. Also I'm pretty sure it has the cool and quiet feature which is pretty dope.

So if I upgrade my psu I should be good?
And what would you recommend for a stable psu for my system?
