Windows 10 crashes and black screens

[PuperHacker]

Hello.

Recently, I have been experiencing a weird issue in my computer. When I play games, everything goes on smoothly, and then I hear a slight sound error, image freezes, controllers not responding, and after approx. 5 seconds, screen turns black, leaving me with the restart button. The crashes occur haphazardly (meaning that the time interval between boot and crash is not fixed). Windows 10 is updated, and so are the gpu's drivers which I just reinstalled.
NOTE: After the sound error, music keeps playing normally....
NOTE: ALL temps are fine during the crashes.
NOTE: Crash observed in multiple circumstances.

SPECS:

i7 4790k
sapphire 270x toxic
wd 1tb caviar blue
cx750m 750w bronze
asus maximus vii ranger
16 gigs of hyper x beast ddr3 2400Mhz

Any response is wholeheartedly appreciated!!!

Have you made sure your motherboard BIOS is up to date?
How old is your PSU?
Any overclocks?
Try and run a repair install and see if that changes anything.
^ I'm assuming that you're suffering from an OS corruption as well.

Thanks for your response.
My PSU is about 2 years old. It hasn't been working heavily, and has a 80+ bronze certification.
I have overclocked the CPU, and went back to stock after noticing the crash. No difference if I decrease its voltage or frequency. I'm pretty confident the BIOS is up to date. Shall I presume that my PC has a virus or registry error?

I wouldn't assume that quite yet. Are you able to monitor the temperature on your pc? There are several programs for it.

I'm logging and monitoring cpu temperatures with core temp. When overclocked, it won't go beyond 80 degrees with watercooling.
I'm monitoring gpu temperatures with MSI afterburner. The card runs cooler than 72 degrees.

fahrenheit or celsius?

Ok found the culprit. Ethernet driver on power saving mode.
