About a year ago i custom ordered a PC, and over the last couple of months when i am playing certain games my system crashes to a blank (sometimes randomly colored) screen with the sound looping in the background, I usually have to restart my computer as it wont respond to anything but the power button. I don't get an error log either.

Batman Arkham Origins, Watch Dogs, Borderlands 2, Deus ex HR, witcher 2, Kingdoms of Amalur KSP (rarely), Sleeping Dogs, XCom: enemy Unknown, Transformers: fall/war of cybertron, Thief, Quantum Conundrum, and DCUO. I can still play most of my other games, but I'd still like to figure this out

Does anyone have any ideas on what i should do to fix it?
