Hey awesome people of Toms HW

For quite some time my computer have been acting up by restarting and/or freezing randomly with a annoying sound (from headphones), the issue occurs mostly when gaming or also some times when just browsing the internet etc.

I searched the net and talked to some people about the issue, and got tolled that it could the because of either the heat or power supply. since i needed to upgrade my pc, i decided to change those things. I applied new thermal paste, got a new cabinet and bought a new power supply as of last week - i also changed my HD to a SSD and installed windows 10 from fresh,

But the problem still occurs... its not the heat.. and the power should be fine, so now I was hoping you could guide me to what too do?

I suspect it could be either the mobo or rams - but how can i check if thats the case? any easy way? im no superman in computer and would apprieciate a answer a peasant like me can understand:)
