Computer crashes quickly after boot up. I turn my computer on it runs between 1 and 5 minutes I'd say and then it crashes. Black screen and messed up audio if anything was playing. The computer is a custom build that I made a month or 2 ago.
I had a similar issue when I first built it, I resolved that issue by deleting Intel display drivers that must have been messing with my AMD video card. I tried deleting them again thinking they were added with some update, but Driver Fusion says something along the lines of they just aren't there.
Recent changes are AMD's drivers updating, it was on catalyst before, but was updated to some new software called AMD Radeon Settings but it says CNext in the app list. I think the crashes started before that though, as I noticed the update was unable to complete with the crashes happening. I was able to finish the install hoping that would fix the problem, but no luck.
I've seen people recommending to run various tests such as memtest and such for several hours, but the computer would never run long enough to do that so I haven't tried to. I looked inside and there is dust, but nothing that I would think is keeping the computer from working. I also see people recommending rolling to older drivers, but I don't actually don't know how to do that. If that's step 1 though I can learn how to and do so for Catalyst/Radeon Settings.
Here's my build:

If any other additional information is needed I'd be happy to provide it as I can.
