Oke so i've made myself a nice gaming computer last month but now for a couple of weeeks it started blue screening left right and center without any reason. It happens randomly but around 50% more when playing CSGO. Also from time to time games just crash without BSOD. I've tryed so much that i just lost count.
Lost for hope here i am hoping someone out here can help me.

Regarding the PSU, I checked on NVIDIA's specs for the GTX1070, and it states that the graphics card draws 150W and the recommended wattage is 500W.
One should always keep in mind that other components use power (including mainboard, CPU, hard drives/SSDs, DVD Writers etc.)...

Overheating is not it i'm pretty sure becaus it doesnt get to warm (30°C - 40°C)

Also quick note: I've already talked to NVidia and they tryed fixing it to no succes.

MOBO: MSI H170A
Processor: Intel I7 6900 (stock cooler)
PSU Corsair CS550M
Graphics card = MSI GTX1070 8G
RAM = 16Gb DDR4

Hi, try installing the latest Windows Updates and Hardware Drivers (especially the video card driver).
Also I advise you to avoid beta versions of drivers, and drivers from Microsoft / Windows updates.

Windows was up to date. and video card drivers are now up to date aswell. But that can't be the issue if it has been crashing for so long.

If there are software issues (outdated drivers), they do not always occur immediately. Also check for the latest mainboard drivers and BIOS updates.

I noticed that your PSU outputs 550W, in my opinion, it is better to use an 700W PSU or higher on a high performance / workstation / gaming, especially when a dedicated graphics card is being used.

They told me 550W was fine, but how would i check to make sure?

MSI update says everything is up to date.

Is that a H170A Gaming Pro? Go Here and download Live Update 6 and use it to download latest drivers for motherboard

if its a different model, find it on MSI site and download that program. I wish my motherboard had an app that made it so easy.

edit: lol. nvm this after last post :)

From nvidia's specs, the PSU should be enough, but one must also take my above statement into consideration.
Also if your computer BSOD's only during gaming, then it is either the PSU is being overloaded, or a corrupted GPU driver...
Do you have an extra PSU with higher wattage than 550W? If yes, try using that and see how the computer behaves.
Also check Event Viewer for any warnings/errors.
