alright so here the problem

 

PROBLEM

-during light usage PC will shutdown but not like a normal shutdown but instead, where my screen goes blank with just the backlight remaining on.

 

-by light usage i mean such as browsing the web, looking at steam, or just randomly while on my desktop or in the windows menus.

 

WHAT I HAVE TRIED

-at first i thought it was the power supply but the computer remains on with all my fans and everything on but the screen just goes out, and its not the monitor.

 

-second i thought it was the RAM i did a MEMtest and the RAM is fine.

 

-third i thought it mightbe the motherboard so i updated the BIOS and still nothing happened. 

 

-fourth i checked the DRAM voltage and havent lowered yet but will be soon(haswell-refresh reccomended is 1.5V im at 1.65V i think)

 

-fifth i thought it was software so i updated to windows 10 just to get rid of any files that may be weird or whatever in windows 8.1

 

-sixth well i got no other ideas.

Intel Core i7-4790k@4GHz

Are you using Windows 10? Windows 10 does this a lot but eventually repairs itself. Just let it crash.

If you have AMD crimson installed, try uninstalling that and see if that fixes it. Had the same issue with mine.
