Hey
I have this problem already about 2 years.
My computer gets a black screen and reboots.
Sometimes I don't get signal on my monitor and after shaking my computer a few times, it works again.

The thing is, when I open Photoshop (or any program) there is a small chance of crashing but when I play games I can count on 10-15 min of gameplay.
Yesterday tough my computer didn't crash at all.
I start to think it's my PSU but I really don't know.
I've uprgaded already my video card, motherboard and CPU.

Here are my specs:
processor: Itel Core i5-4590CPU 3.30GHz
RAM: 8GB
Video Card: GeForce GTX760
PSU: Corsair CX600M
System Model: Z97X-Gaming

I really need some help with this.
TY!
ps: i'm not a Tech Professional so I only understand the good basic of it.

Edit: I was watching youtube now and it almost crashed, I had the usual black screen, sound was gone,...
But after 10 sec I had it back and on the right corner there was a popup that said something about "Nvidia Display Driver Stopped Responding"

From the error "Nvidia Display Driver Stopped Responding" , that may cause by overheat, the driver, or PSU.
1) Update the intel chipset driver, because it comes with pcie driver too. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=20775 and try to use the 2nd pcie slot, if even after updating it does not work.
2) Try use the DDU to uninstall the driver, then reinstall the GPU driver again, or use the old version gpu driver too. http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
3) Use the HWiNFO64 to check the temp. http://www.hwinfo.com/download.php
4) Or use the the software ( like the afterbuner) to increase the voltage, because the GPU may not run stable, if you increase the voltage, that will...

5) Try use other PSU, or try put the GPU into other pc, because the problem may from the cx600m.

Hold on, SHAKING YOUR COMPUTER to get it working again? The only thing that can do is make things worse by jarring some part loose or even breaking a connector somewhere.

This is a hardware issue, as above,overheating, bad video card, bad power supply. It is not a driver issue in 99% of cases like this.

You should take the computer apart, clean it, reapply the heatsinks on the video card and CPU with new heat grease and try things again. A new Windows setup won't hurt either.

This may or may not fix things, I'd say 20% chance or less than it will.

If same thing happens, start by testing the video card in another computer that can run it, if that computer is stable for a while, then it could be a power supply issue or maybe the RAM or motherboard, will need to swap those out to test them.
