When I'm playing my PC Games, I randomly get a black screen, and I have to hard reset. My PC works fine after doing a hard reset, but I am still unable to play PC games.

Specs:
CPU = AMD A8 7600
GPU = AMD Radeon HD 7950
Motherboard = Gigabyte F2A88XM-HD3
RAM = Kingston HyperX 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3 Memory
PSU = Aerocool Integrator 600W Power Supply
Case = Aerocool GT Advanced Gaming Case - White
Storage:
SSD = Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SATA3 6GBPS Solid State Drive
HDD = 1TB Toshiba DT01ACA100

I did recently reinstall Windows 8.1, as my SSD corrupted but everythings working fine now in Windows, just not games :/

The games I'm playing:

Tomb Raider
Payday 2
Counter-Strike:Global Offensive
Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Full Burst 3

EDIT: I underclocked the 7950 to 850Mhz and everything seems to be working fine, but I did update all of my drivers.
 
Solution
I think that an quality PSU would be a solution, even an Corsair CX600 80plus would be more than pretty.

In my case, ive got CX500 on GTX 960 2gb, Phenom 955BE (OC to 1.6), 8 GB of ram and got no problems in games as Far Cry 4, Crysis 3. But ur comps are lil newer than mine. So its probablly coz low quality PSU.

No, I didn't but I underclocked my 7950 to 850mhz and everything is working fine, well at least in counter strike xD
But, In the meantime I will be looking at getting a new PSU, and suggestions? from 600 - 1000watts is fine for this system.
