"my computer keeps freezing I am unable to figure out what the problem is. At first I thought it had something to do with the videos games I was playing but I later came to found out that my computer was also freezing, crashing and restarting while I was just browsing the web. no specific thing freezes it, its usually just really random when it happens. I have no idea what the issue is with my computer just want to get to the bottom of this issue."

Might be crappy PSU at work. try clearing CMOS first before swapping PSU out

Is your OC profile set to auto-volt, i.e. have you manually overvolted your CPU (this can contribute to temps)?

 

What are your temps? Max temp is 74 degrees.

 

Is your ram filling up?

Like @xnoobftw said, it could be a PSU.

I dont think is the PSU. I took this PSU from my brothers old computer (very similar specs) and it was working fine.

The computer is not overclocked and temps are fine. These restarts seem to happen randomly, either just browsing facebook, to playing BF4

You do know that PSU degrades right...

I honestly think it really is the PSU

I've had it happen to me when my 4440 and 290x was running on a g600w from CM (LEL) 

After changing to my current g2 850w everything was fixed

The PSU is maybe 2 months old.
