Hello everyone, for the past few days I've had a strange problem with my computer. Whenever I am playing games or rendering videos of any sort my pc just crashes, can't move the mouse can't interact with anything and it basically restarts on its own at that point, no bsod, no error code, nothing. Now I should mention this pc isn't even 2 years old yet, and I would have these hard crashes from time to time, I usually would treat it as an overheat issue, I would just dust off the computer case and clean the dust off the fans it would be ok usually after that. These crashes started happening about a month ago but it would only happen maybe once or twice a week. Now for the past 3 or so days its been everytime I game for maybe 20-30 mins or try to render a video on Sony Vegas. Sometimes not even during those, once I was playing a 2d game, nothing stressful the temperature monitors didn't even go above 40c for cpu or 50c for gpu, yet when I exited out the game 2 minutes later bam crashed.
I was even trying to do a system restore to about 2 weeks back when it seemed stable trying to rule out it might be anything that I installed (even though I couldn't think of anything) and even crashed during the system restore too. And during this occasion what would happen is the pc would go on a reboot loop, it would come to the POST screen then immediately shut off and restart again, it would keep doing this until I would shutdown the computer by holding the power button and leaving it alone for a minute or so. I should mention like maybe once out of every 10 crashes this happens too, but most of the time it boots regularly after crashing. I should also mention there is no dump file being made after the crash as whocrashed doesn't pick up on it, and event viewer doesn't show anything except the 41 kernel-power error, nothing before or after it.
I've checked temperature levels, even logged everything in MSI afterburner temperatures never go above 60c for my gpu and nothing above 50c for my cores. All case and gpu fans seems to be working fine so its definitely not an heat issue. So I am thinking either it might be my RAM or my PSU, I haven't done a memtest yet because I'm afraid of it crashing during the test, which I don't think would be a good thing. But I checked my voltage levels on hwmonitor and OCCT, to me it looks ok except the vcore voltage levels but I am not an expert on voltage levels so I am hoping more tech savvy people on here can point out if anything looks off about my volt levels. http://imgur.com/a/qbvOY

Also another weird thing that started happening about 2 days ago is that my screen would sometimes randomly "blink" like it would flicker black for a split second like it was blinking its eyes or something but it would happen once every few minutes, although that problem seems to be mostly gone now. It still happens once or twice every few hours.
Anyways here are my specs
OS: Windows 10 home 64 bit
Processor: Intel Core i7-5960x cpu 3.00ghz 8 cores
Mobo: Gigabyte ga-x99-sli
gpu: Nvidia Titan X
RAM: 64gb
PSU: Corsair RM1000w
Anyways sorry for the wall of text but I'm just stressing out about all this when I feel like I've tried a lot and yet still can't fix the problem. And I kinda wanna be sure of what the problem is before I spend 100+ bucks on a replacement part, I'd seriously appreciate any help.
