I just replaced my PSU after reading other posts here and thinking it was the issue but I am still getting random restarts. They seem to happen more frequently when I have a game running and twitch stream running on my other monitor at the same time, but has happened even when I only had Chrome open on a non-video playing page and I came back from afk to the error message that shows up after the restart. "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown" I should also point out that when the restarts happen, both monitors go black but I can still hear audio for 3-5 sec before it restarts.
System:
Motherboard - ASUS P9X79 LE
RAM - DDR3 1866 G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB (2x8GB)
CPU - Core i7-4820k@3.70GHz
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770
PSU - EVGA SuperNova 850 G3
Hard Drive w/Windows - Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
Secondary Hard Drive - Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD
It has been happening about once a week for the past 3-4 months, but recently started happening pretty much every day... and today 3 times. I had overheating issues a few years back and got a good airflow case and liquid cooler, but I'm wondering if the CPU could be having delayed issues from the overheating back then even though it was issue free for over a year after fixing the problem.
Not sure if this helps, but I opened event viewer and here is what I got.

The last thing I can think of mentioning that might help is that I run 2 monitors. One at 60 fps 1080p, the other at 30fps 1440p (on a 4k tv). I am pretty lacking in knowledge about computers and have learned most of what I know from this site, so I have no clue if this could be contributing to the problem, but figured I should mention it since the problem seems to happen more frequently when I have video related stuff on both monitors at the same time.
On a side note, 2 of today's restarts were before the new PSU arrived. I installed the new PSU and had the third restart happen about 2 hours later. Once I installed the new PSU, 1 of my 3 hard drives no longer shows up, even in bios. I switched the cables around between hard drives to confirm it is the hard drive and not the cables. Not asking for help on this (unless its super easy) because it was my oldest crappy hard drive and I don't need it anymore anyway. But I figured I should mention it in case it could somehow be related.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Happened 2 more times since the original post, both while watching a single twitch stream with nothing else actively running... One was with this computer having run for 8+ hours, the other was about 15 min after booting up for the day. I would really love anyone to chime in with thoughts as I am completely guessing at this point.
EDIT: While responding to the the question below I noticed a task bar button for "Problem Reporting" that the overwhelming majority of the listed problems say "Problem: Video hardware error". Does this mean my GPU is going bad?
