Well this is my last hope. I have been working on this issue for months. Whenever I try and load into a CS:GO game my computer reboots. Usually the same thing happens on other games. It is almost always whenever I am loading into matches. My temperatures are fine and I just bought 3 fans to make sure. It isn't my hard drive as I bought a SSD recently and tried on there instead and it is still happening. I haven't switched out my PSU but I am assuming 550W is enough. I am using Windows 10 and I have reloaded it many times. Whenever this happens I just get a general Kernel Power 41 error. My specs are:
Intel Core i7-4770 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Team Elite Plus 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon R9 285 2GB TurboDuo Video Card $178.98
Case: NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 OEM (64-bit)
Mouse Razer Death Adder
Keyboard Razer BlackWidow
SSD: SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive
I am really not sure what to do. I have tried pretty much everything and nothing has worked. Please help.

Update 1: Ran stress test. No crashes. Game only seems to crash on steam. Rainbow Six Siege and CS:GO. Rainbow Six Siege usually after 2-3 matches, CS;GO right when entering a match. Over watch ran fine.

WhoCrashed may give you some more insight into whats going on:

Do you have any non-steam games to verify it's only steam games?

Also try some stress tests/benchmarks to see if they also cause crashes:You'd want to try running various stress tests for certain parts of your computer.

Intel Extreme Tuning utility has a CPU stress test you can run for a few hours: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24075/Intel-E...

Prime 95 is a good stress test for AMD CPUs, but don't use it on Intel CPUs:

Unigine Valley isa good GPU stress test: http://unigine.com/products/benchmarks/valley/

Memtest 86 is the classic memory stress tester: http://www.memtest86.com/

It is mostly steam games. I know previously It started happening on Overwatch, and on League of Legends for like 2 days but I never noticed anything after that, but since I reset my computer I only installed CS:GO to see if it would shut off and it still did. I have used Prime 95 and wasn't exactly sure how it worked but I let it run for awhile before and I never crashed. I will run the applications and get back to you. Thank you for the help

Update 1: Whos Crashed showed nothing. I installed and started CS and it restarted and didn't say anything.
Update 2: Running CPU Intel Extreme tuning for 2 hours. Will see how rest of stress test goes.
Update 3: CPU Crash test left computer fine
Update 4: Doing GPU test overnight and running games other then steam to see if it has same effect
Update 5: Game only seems to crash on steam. Rainbow Six Siege and CS:GO. Rainbow Six Siege usually after 2-3 matches, CS;GO right when entering a match. Over watch ran fine. Testing League of Legends Later

Will try it although that doesn't explain Rainbow Six Siege restarting as well.

Valley Stress test crashes computer. Not sure where to go from here. Assuming this means something is wrong with GPU? Not sure why it only crashes Steam games though. Tested Overwatch for 3 matches and didn't crash.
