Hi, this has been happening for a while now.

My PC crashes (Only when I'm gaming) with no BSOD.

My specs: AMD Athlon X4 860K, GTX 970, 16GB DDR3, Asrock fm2a88m extreme4+
Temp: CPU is around 50C idle, and 65C-70C while gaming.

No, I don't have access to another PSU
Yes, it is the older version of the CPU with the green writing.

While gaming I use around 65% of my GPU so I don't believe it's that. I don't believe it's my PSU
as it has more than enough Watts.

I'm guessing it's due to my CPU overheating?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

It is most likely your PSU.

If you CPU was overheating it would tell you it crashed due to thermal limits. Plus you know your temps are fine. How could the CPU be overheating when you stated it is at 70C?

I can say a brick is a 3000W PSU, doesn't make it true. There are a lot of ways manufacturers can fluff the numbers of their PSU, and some just straight up lie.

Again, you seem adimate about it not being the PSU, but unfortunately - that is where your problem most likely lies.
