I've had the same issue for the past few months and unfortunantely I haven't solved it yet but I've come to the conclusion that its most likely the powersupply which is causing the issue. I've tried many things such as reseating the ram, resetting windows, reseating the graphics card, replugging in the power cables and they all did not end up fixing the issue so its most likely a problem with your powersupply.

I would say to test another powersupply with your system, maybe one thats atleast 600w so you can run everything almost similar to yours currently. I have yet to purchase a new psu for my own test but I definitely will be doing it soon. Hope you can find the solution to your problem
