So here is what I am running:
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 mobo
MSI R9 270X GPU
AMD FX8320 CPU
8GB G.Skill 1333mhz RAM
1TB Seagate 7200RPM HDD
Corsair 750CX PSU

Here is my problem:
I have had my computer for about a week, and it has already crashed twice, within 2 days. The first time it was just a black screen, no noises. The second time, I got a white screen with some weird audio sounds. My friend built a very similar PC i did, with the exception of 16GB RAM and an AMD FX8350. His crashes too, and we have the same HDD, PSU, GPU, and MOBO. We are unsure what is causing it and are thinking about buying new mother boards and swapping to Intel i7's. We are pretty sure it is not overheating problems, as we both have 5 fans on our PC cases. 2 exhuast and 3 intake. 2 intake on the top, and one on the front. 1 exhaust on the back and 1 exhaust on the side as well. Please help.

I am running Windows 10, but before i ran it on windows 8.1. I installed the GPU drivers and that is all i manually installed. My motherboard came with a disc but the only things on it were some anti-virus, an ASUS Boot thing, and ASUS CPU-Z.

I think I may have found the problem. I am checked the event logs after some research, and sure enough, I think I have a faulty PSU. After reading several pages of reviews on Newegg, I have come to the conclusion that my PSU is not fit for what I am doing on my PC. I checked my even logs, and i have seen 5 critical errors, all of which being kernel and error 41. It has said 2 times my pc has "stopped recieving power". 2 times i have crashed, so i think i may have found the issue.
