A broken component or something else?

I've been getting blue screens / freezes while in game, with the last sound looping. Right afterwards, my computer will not boot, instead it will go on and off. After powering it on again after completely turning it off, it will turn on.

Was playing Diablo 3 or CS:GO when these freezes happened, don't really play other games. Also had some kind of artifacts earlier while browsing the internet and that somehow rebooted my machine, not sure what happened.

I think it might be a component due to how it happens, after a while in a game.

Not sure if these a bit older blue screens have something to do with it, but here they are:

Ok, I did that clean-up but it didn't help.
I think XMP was enabled. The clock cycles and frequencies were the ones I paid for by default - only switched the RAM to 1600MHz (no change at 1333MHz on this case however).

Ok, so what happened now: instead of a freeze, it was a complete power off. Afterwards, unable to boot. Took about a minute until I could boot. Instantly had the idea it could be the power supply after all, but it's quite new and nothing happened before so not going to say for sure. Any ideas?
