Recently I have built my own computer and have encountered a problem of it randomly turning off the display on the monitor and crashing the audio but not turning off the pc, forcing me to turn it off at the power switch. This can happen randomly. Be it when I am playing games, browsing the internet or even just logging on. I have tried re-installing windows 8.1, turning up my cpu fan and even looked inside the pc but spotted nothing out of the ordinary.

Specs:
AMD FX (TM) - 6300 six core processor
8GB RAM
GA-970A UD3P MOBO
Sapphire Radeon R9 270X
1TB Seagate Barracuda
EVGA 500W 80 Plus Power Supply
