Can PSU be the reason for random black screens and freezing?

Hello,

I have build new system. Specs:
6600K
G.skill 3200mhz
Asus Rampage LGA 1151
GTX 1070
Samsung 750 Evo
RM750X Corsair

So at first i suggested that it was my GPU. Removed the GPU and put onboard GPU to work. Same problem.

Then i read somewhere that with WIN 10 and Skylake there is some problems (including cstates ETC ETC) I tried all of the "tricks", including tweaking power management and cstates off. The cstates off worked for some time (????) For about 6hrs and then crash.

Then i ran memtest and swapped ram sticks (no errors and no change in changing the sticks positions and also XMP off)

Re-seated the CPU. No luck

Installed WIN10 to another HDD lying around. (No luck)

as a last resort changed the PSU to Corsair 1000W HX laying around. The pc has runned AIDA64 stress test for past 10-15 minutes without crashing etc?????

Can PSU cause this kind of symptoms?

Yes it can and sometimes even what is considered a really good psu will turn out to be a lemon it doesn't happen very often but it does once in a while. If it runs on the hx I would contact corsair on the rmx and get a rma started.
