Sometimes, my computer just randomly crashes into a grey screen when I'm just normally using it, watching videos, etc, or just doing light gaming. This means that the temperatures of my PC are still normal when it crashes so I don't know what the problem is. If it crashes while there is sound playing, I hear a buzzing sound.

I've run stress tests for the CPU and GPU and they stay at safe temperatures with the GPU around 75°C and the CPU below 70°C and my computer does not crash at these times.

I looked online for this problem and I've seen that most people have had problems with their GPU, but my GPU stays at safe temperatures and I have the latest driver installed

Specs:
- Intel Core i5-4460
- Asus R9 270
- Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB (2x4GB)
- MSI Z97 Gaming-3
- Seagate Barracuda 1TB
- WD Caviar Blue 500GB
- EVGA 500W
- Corsair 200R

There could be multiple causes of this.

1) Take one of the ram sticks out, and boot the PC and try doing everything as normal with 1 ram stick. If the problem persists, place the one you took out, and take the other one out. If the problem still persists, then put the second one back in too, and follow the other steps.

2) Make sure your power supply cable is enough to power the PSU. (Amps & Volts)

3) Try re-installing all of the graphic drivers.

4) One of the causes for a problem like this, is the HDD. You could try re-installing Windows.
