Gaming Crashes

I'm having a problem where my computer crashes to a random solid colour for a second or 2 and then resets. This problem happens when gaming. I have the issue with some games but not all. The problem has occurred increasingly often over the past few weeks. 

 

CPU - Intel 2500k

GPU - GTX 970

PSU - 750W ACE power supply

MB - ASUS b75m

 

I haven't overclocked,

 

Update: I have a suspicion that the crashes are caused by online gaming as i can play Overwatch and Rocket League offline easily but it crashes in multiplayer.

I'm going to further investigate by using a new internet connection etc.

Hmm, I assume so, so I'm getting a new one anyway. But it seems strange that it happens almost as soon as i play a mulitplayer game

This is because your GPU starts to comsume more power while gaming

If the PSU is bad and can't deliver enough power then your PC may crash

Ok, someone recommended a CX450M; Is that any good?
