I tried to play some games yesterday and all of them crashed in about 5 minutes .
I don't have any RAM / PSU problems I'm sure . I tried RAM tests , passed them . I have this PC setup since october 2013 and I had a similar problem when i changed my monitor .
The problem was my HDMI cable was not plugged well , so i plugged it back then and everything was nice until now.
All these problems occurred when I changed my monitor. (I think the monitor is not confied right)

Did you change to a different monitor yesterday and the problems started occurring after that? Where are you getting your GPU drivers (i.e. driver disc, AMD website, manufacturer website)?

Could be that power supply, it looks...... not so great. Do you have a different PSU you can try?

I don't have any PSU , I changed my monitor like 2 months ago , after changing it i had a problem with the HDMI cable (same problem , but this time it was not the cable) , I fixed it , played for 2 days some games . I was gone until yesterday and now I arrived and I looked up for the problem . I got the drivers from AMD official website . I tried older versions too . I don't really think is something about PSU , because it worked pretty good like 6 months ago with the same one . This problem appears in the 3D enviroment.
