Alright so for Christmas I got a DVD Drive, and after installing this drive I ran into a small (BIG) problem.
On the holiday sales I decided to pick up Dark Souls 3 on steam. After waiting a while it finally installed, and I launched it ready to play at max settings. Unfortunately for me, right passed the loading screen my PC crashed. The Power button started blinking and the PC will not turn on unless I unplug the power for around 5 seconds. It IS definitely Hardware related, as I did a full format and reinstalled windows, did a BIOS update, and uninstalled and reinstalled graphics drivers. Nothing.
Here's a vid of the whole thing in action:

So for about two days straight and started playing Witcher 3. Now I have played this game in the past with no problems at all, but it decided to do the exact same thing. When I got past the loading screen, it crashed my PC, and I got a blinking power light.
Soon I tried unplugging my DVD drive power. It didn't make a difference STILL.
I can however play games that are not so intensive, such as The Amazing Spider-Man (Completely maxed), and Ultimate Alliance.
The only conclusion I can come up with is a busted power supply, but if not I'd appreciate some help
PC Specs:
GPU: EVGA GTX 960 (2GB)
CPU: AMD FX 8320 (8 core proccessor)
Hard Drive: 1 TB HDD
OS: Windows 10 Home
PSU: LEPA N Series N500-SA 500W ATX12V
Motherboard: 970A SLI KRAIT EDITION
Thanks for reading over. This behavior is really odd, and as far as I know it could have nothing to do with the DVD drive or PSU.
