First of all, below are two checklists on this topic. There are several possibilities that could cause this. The easiest fix is to re-seat the memory. Remove each RAM stick, clean the contacts, blow out the slot, and reinstall. It is also necessary (LATER) to run memtest overnight to confirm that memory is OK If you have a case speaker, are there any beep codes? I would recommend having a case speaker.

The next possibility is a driver issue. Uninstall the graphics card drivers (use a utility like driver sweeper to remove all traces of the driver). Then reinstall the latest driver.

The next possibility is an inadequate or dieing power supply. This can be tested by switching out the power supply with a working power supply...

The last is a thermal problem. It is less likely the cause. Just check your temperatures.
