Computer freezing, BSOD's, AND random restarts!

I've recently had a plethora of issues on my Desktop computer. I'm a hip/hop Artist and own a video production company so my computer is everything (From recording, engineering, to editing photos and video) to my Career path and what I do. It started when I was editing video with a freeze. I restarted, gave my computer a break by doing basic internet browsing on social media... and I was Blue screened with "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" and automatic restart. As I made it to the log in screen for Windows 8, my computer restarted itself without notice.
This worries me, greatly.
My Processor hasn't exceeded 51° C (Which to my knowledge, shouldn't cause my system to act like this) but I have started to think my PSU could be the issue...but again, I'm unsure. I've heard bad things about my 750M and issues with sending too much voltage causing all of the issues I have.
I've had a couple different other BSOD including: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR, SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. If someone could lead me into the direction of alleviating this problem I would greatly appreciate it! Also, I actually reformatted my entire computer a couple weeks ago by overwriting my hard drive through a Microsoft technician --- So my computer doesn't have much to it besides the programs listed at the bottom along with a few basics.
SPECS:
AMD 8350 8-Core Processor [Black edition] [CPU]
STRIX GeForce GTX 950 2GB [Graphics Card]
16GB Ripjaws X Series [RAM]
CX750M Corsair [PSU]
WD Blue 1 TB [Harddrive]
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 [Motherboard]
StarTech PCI Network wireless adapter

On a regular basis I run Pro Tools 11 with Mbox 3 USB (Audio Interface) for recording, Sony Vegas Pro 13 for Video editing, and Photoshop CS6 Extended for Photo editing.

AMD FX CPUs support 1866MHz memory clock when using one DIMM per channel at non-OC speeds.

Corsair guarantees the rated speeds of any memory to be obtainable only in the kit it is sold in. If you bought two singles instead of a single kit, this also applies. Set memory parameters in BIOS with D.O.C.P or manually according to memory manufacturers specifications.

After the format you reinstalled the motherboard drivers,only after that the gpu drivers?
For motherboard drivers,
1) Chipsetdrivers
2) lan and sounddrivers.
Have the latest bios? "Version 2603" from "2015/07/24".


Ram is running at rated specs? Can see with cpu-z (freeware) what the current speed is under the "memory tab" and under the "spd tab" can you see the rated specs,look at the XMP profile.

You tried safe mode to see if drivers are the problem?

The psu might be,but want to rule out chaper options first.
