Random crashes with black screen

[Third Bass Code]

For a few months now, I have been having the issue that my PC crashes out of nowhere with just giving me a black screen (monitor is not getting any signal anymore and is going in sleep mode) and crackling noise from my speakers.

The problem seems to be totally random, not occurring for an entire week and then happening as my PC is just runing for 10 minutes, relatively idle.

I have not been able to recreate the event by hand, and I'm through all of my ideas.

all temperatures are well within decent save range, CPU being around 31 to 40 degrees Celcius, RAM never going over 30, and the GPU havind a max of 45 under very heavy load.

I have all the latest drivers, BIOS, and ran memory check with no results.

specs:

-OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

-Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme R2.0

-CPU: AMD FX-8150 Black Edition (running at stock speed) with Cooler Master V8 cooler on it

-Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB RAM (divided over 4 slots)

-GPU: Asus R9 290 reverence model with NZXT Kraken and Corsair H110 replacing the stock cooler

-PSU: Corsair AX760

-SSD: Samsung Pro 128GB

-HDDs: 1TB Samsung HDD and 2TB WD Black HDD

All of this is build in a Corsair Carbide Air 540 case with 6 140mm fans and 1 120mm fan (4 fans are placed on the H110 in the front of the case, using push/pull config blowing cool air straight at the GPU as well).

Have you tried using a different PSU at all? It sounds to me like it could either be a motherboard issue, software issue, or PSU, although those are just my guesses...

I havent tried another PSU yet since I don't have a spare at the moment, but I've had troubles with a PSU in the past and I'm not sure that is it.

Mobo or software is more likely I guess. Maybe reinstalling Windows and all drivers is an idea?

So I found the problem recently. It seems that Corsair Link was causing these problems. After deleting it I have yet to experience the problem again
