I'm sorry if this isn't the right topic. I honestly didn't know what topic to pick. 

So, I build my first computer around a month ago now, and everything has been working great except for a few programs. Sometimes when I'm working in blender or photoshop my screens randomly turn black and the program crashes. When I reopen the program again it starts lagging and will only work at around 5 fps. I need to restart my computer to fix this issue. That's very unproductive. I'm not sure if it might have something to do with my two monitors. One is connected via HDMI and another via DisplayPort. Or could it be my graphics card? I've searched online many times and I haven't found a single person who encountered this problem.

Does anyone know a solution to this? Please let me know if you need any more information to find the fix.

Check event viewer for GPU driver related crashes. Otherwise it could be an unstable overclock. A lot of boards have a multicore enhancement or precision boost that does a bit of auto overclocking. Since the crash seems to happen in demanding applications you might be able to increase load line calibration in the BIOS and it will buff out the issue.

What are your system specs?

I haven't been able to check the event viewer because I haven't experienced the issue yet, sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. It's really random.
Anyways, I checked my bios and I do have the load line callibration setting you were talking about. It's automaticly set to level 3 but I'm able to increase it to level 5. What should I do?

If it is power related you can probably provoke it with a benchmark like prime95 or furmark. Then check event viewer for more information.
