So this is hard to explain ill do my best.

It all started when I built my computer, it was fine working and after a few months it started to crash. Crashes involved colors like green, white, e.t.c, it also sometimes just restarted. Most crashes occur during games. I started to speculate and search and tried switching out the graphics card, but it still crashed, after a month or so, so I knew it wasn't the graphics card, at least. So I thought I had a virus or something so I replaced the Hard drive. Instead I got a Solid State Drive, and installed windows 7, instead of windows 10. The crashing stopped for a while again but came back. So I crossed out driver, and decided to see if it was the Memory.
I used mem test 80-something, and half way through the test it crashed, and every since I did that test crashing became more often. So I switched the ram, accidentally breaking the tab that keeps it in place, searched it up and it says it can't really be fixed but shouldn't do any real harm. When I went to go turn it on the monitor/display didn't show but the computer turned on. I tried again today and the display turns on but gets cut out and crashes. On the motherboard there is a LED light that turns on if there is something wrong with the ram and yes it does turn on. Well that's the vague story, I want an opinion of what is wrong. Ill list the specs of the computer below.

Specs
Processor: Amd 8 core black edition FX series
Motherboard: 970 pro gaming aura
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050ti
RAM: Kingston Fury HyperX 16 gb DDR3 1866MHz
Power Supply: TX650w Corsair
SSD: Samsung 500gb
That's really it besides its a desktop and runs windows 7 and Driver is up to date.

Sounds like a PSU issue. If it's supplying faulty power it could be taking parts with it, seeming to provide power to the computer. At first I thought VRAM, that's what the different colors might point to, but problems with everything with fairly new parts, ya, faulty PSU. Unfortunately you can't tell what damage might have been done to the parts. Even with stuff pointing to PSU, that might not be it. Fluctuations in power can get through faulty surge protectors, or cheap ones sometimes, or old ones.

LoL, just realized that vid is from Corsair. Then again, not everything they make is perfect.
