When it freezes and restarts it doesn't seem to matter if the computer is under load or not. One thing that I do know is that my power supply is making a "ticking" noise. Im going to assume that this is my issue, but I would rather not replace the power supply if its not going to fix the issue. Here is a picture of what it looks like when it freezes-

This also makes me think that it could be a GPU issue aswell? Any information/help is appreciated!

I had a similar problem with random freezes.  Fixed it by using the "sfc /scannow" command from a command prompt.  Give it a try, you have nothing to lose.
