I've had this problem before where if i play specific games, my computer will just crash. I just recently got the game Player Unknown Battlegrounds and it would frequently make my game crash. I previously had a corsair hx750 watt PSU and i RMA'd it and they upgraded me to a 750watt platnium version. Once I had the new PSU about 2 months ago, I've had completely no problems whatsoever. Until recently when I started playing Battlegrounds. My guess is that it might not be the PSU and it can maybe be something else. Any ideas?

System Specs
Intel 4670k
Corsair h100i
Corsair 750 watt 80+ platnium
GTX 970
Vulcan DDR3 16gb ram
3TB HDD
1TB HDD
256gb samsung 850 pro
180gb intel 330

Woops I updated that!, the computer just freezes, it doesnt reboot. It used to reboot with my old psu so i thought it was maybe the psu. Once i got the new psu, it stopped rebooting and just freezes now. I just downloaded a WhoCrashed app that reports what may have been the problem if it does crash. And it appears that the reason is due to my drivers for my GTX 970. I checked to see if it was up to date which it says it is. I then uninstalled it and went to the website to get the most recent one. So far I haven't had any crashes when playing the new game so far :) but I need to keep testing to see if it will crash

Welp, it looks like the issue has been solved! I don't have any crashes anymore.

Getting the WhoCrashed really helped with figuring out what was the problem with my constant crashes.
