Recently my harddrive died and i decided to buy a new sshd. I was having issues with my computer while playing games, it would randomly make a loud buzzing sound then my screen would go black and it would restart. I had figured out it was an outdated realtek audio driver and that problem went away. But now its still rebooting itself with a black screen but the audio is still playing normally and now it's happening while just watching YouTube videos. Is it the harddrive or something else such as the PSU/GPU going bad?? I'ts not a heating issue since i checked the temps of the GPU and CPU while playing games and tried stress testing them with normal results and no crashes. I also ran the RAM diagnostic in windows with no errors. help!
I get the following critical errors in windows logs:
-The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
-A problem has occurred with one or more user-mode drivers and the hosting process has been terminated. This may temporarily interrupt your ability to access the devices.

Specs:
GTX 760,
MSI gaming Motherboard,
1tb Seagate SSHD,
600w power supply,
Intel core i5 4670k not overclocked
 
Solution
these are the power recommendations for a GeForce GTX 760 - 30A and a 500W PSU minimum

your PSU has a combined max output of 22A on the 12V rails

I would suggest you get a good PSU that will match your GTX760.

i have been using it fine for 2 years now. it only started happening since i installed new harddrive after my old one broke. It's probably time for a new PSU anyway sicne this one was supposed to only last for like 8 months-1 year
