My computer keeps crashing randomly, like when I'm gaming or just watching YouTube. I have tested the PSU and the GPU and they both seem to work fine. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Specs:

I7-4770K

Asus Z87 motherboard

16G Ballistix DDR3

GTX 760 MSI

RM 850 PSU

When your computer crashes, is it blue-screening or giving you an error code? If so, I'd start by checking your event viewer once your PC is powered back on.

Also if you have your cpu overclocked try to set it to default. Check also your windows update/drivers to make sure everything is up to date
