Games Crashing, Chrome Killing Itself, Blue Screens if I leave it on too long... What's going on?

Hi, I recently acquired my PC a few months ago. The mobo, graphics cards, and power supply were all not working so I had to replace them. I got a EVGA SuperNova 850 B2 PSU, a Radeon RX 480 8GB GPU, and a M5A99DX Pro R2.0 mobo. Once I completed the build about a week ago, Chrome was crashing and I would only be able to play DotA 2 for about a minute online before the application crashed. When I loaded up another game, all the land was black. After doing a decent amount of troubleshooting I saw that my Windows 8.1 had all sorts of missing updates and files so I got Windows 10. After that the same issue persists like Chrome crashes, game crashes (mind you, I could play low-end games offline for hours and run applications like FireFox for that long too), and even blue screens happened once or twice but I couldn't get the error code. I could really use some help as to what my problem is so I can use my computer for its proper use.

Another small issue is that when the monitor sleeps it never turns back on and shows anything. It will say HDMI No Signal and go back to black. Could that be tied with it and how do I fix that too?

Try updating your graphics driver and other hardware drivers. The problems you describe seem to be related to video processing. Also make sure that you have all proper connections on your motherboard and also look for the power supply cables attaching to your components. If possible, what cpu do you have and what type of cooling are you using.

EDIT: Check the BIOS too and see if everything is properly configured. If you have overclocked any components, attempt to clock them lower to a more stable point.
