Hey guys,

I have been having problems for some weeks now. It started suddenly with no real reason. At that time Win7 was installed and running for about half a year and from one day to the other random crashes started to happen. The crashes never threw any errors or anything, just a black screen and then the PC reboots. The thing is that the crashes only occur during "standard use" of my PC, meaning that while I am surfing, photoshopping, etc., but never during gaming (I have been gaming 5-6 hours and it never crashed).
After the crashed I always checked the event viewer and it always said that there was an appcrash and always on different programs (once on Arkham Knight or The Witcher 3 (half an hour or so after I stopped playing), once on Adobe Reader, once on Photoshop, etc.), so its not like its a certain program causing the PC to shut down.
About a month ago I did a clean install of Win10, because I thought it was a faulty driver or something, but the crashes keep happening. So yesterday I let memtest run for 20 hours because I thought the RAM may be the culprit, but no errors.
I am out of ideas now and dont really know what to do next.

Short recap: PC reboots randomly without any error messages or bluescreens (just black screen and reboot), but this never happens during gaming. Reinstalled OS, memtested RAM, but no errors and crashes still occur. Windows event viewer reports appcrash of a program when a reboot happens (differebtnt program every time, so its not a certain program which causes the reboots).
Any ideas?

I would first run sfc /scannow checks Windows system files and chkdsk /f checks your disk for errors in the command prompt. I would also check for updates to because sometimes updates can help

Edit: Updates for Windows 10

Updates for what?
I switched my HDD to two SSDs about a month ago (before installing WIn10), but I will run these checks too.

Hhhmm, alright. Use a program called Ninite and update all your utility programs flash, java, browsers, ect. Is it possible for you to link a screen shot of your app crash report? There could be something in it that might help me.
