Crashing Problems

So i built a computer for a friend of mine awhile back, and i put my old psu in his computer. He wasnt needing the power i was so i though it would supply his pc fine, fyi mine kept crashing while using the psu and stopped after swapping it out. Soon after he gets his pc home the same thing happens to him, his pc starts crashing randomly. So i assumed it was psu and we swapped it out and the crashes stopped for awhile. About a week later his pc starts crashing again, but its not like a normal crash. He gets a blue screen with no text on it and it just sits on that screen until he manually restarts the pc. The blue screen contains no text or anything other then some gray/white lines going horizontally across the screen.  It doesnt seem to be crashing for a specific reason, the crashes are completely random and the kernel power error that was showing with the old psu is still showing in the windows event logs. Im completely clueless on why this is happening, any ideas?

i7 4790K @4.7GHz; MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition; Klevv Neo 4x4Gb 2400Mhz; PNY GeForce GTX 980; Crucial M500 240GB SSD; Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD; Corsair RM750; NZXT Kraken X61
