So I've had this problem on my alt pc
The problem is when I play games such as overwatch or cs:go my computer crashes making a soundloop and weird pictures appear after that it shuts down.
I got my videocard off and played overwatch for a bit and it didn't crash.
Does this mean my powersupply is the problem or might it be the graphics card?
Many people have told me it also might be my ram but it seems like it works perfectly fine to me.
If the problem is with my powersupply I would appreciate recommendations for powersupplies.
Spec:
cpu: i5 4670k
gpu: Gtx 770 2gb asus
psu: corsair cx600m
mobo:asus z87-k
ram:Vengeance LP 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3L
Thanks Pou

Your gpu seems like it's overheating is it overclocked at all if so try to turn down the clock speed a bit

If not try to clean out all the dust out of you pc to allow more air flow

Could be anything, I wouldn't put it down to hardware though. If your GPU is overheating, the drives usually crash out first, if there is an issue with RAM or CPU, you will usually end up with a BSOD.

When was the OS installed?
How hot is your GPU when gaming? (The 770 runs very hot, so i can't see this being the case)

The PSU is fine and more then capable of running a 770!

Update the issue seems to be away for now.
What I did :

I removed and updated gpu drivers.
After that I underclocked my gpu and put the fan of the gpu on max

After an hour of playing overwatch there is no issue !
Huge thanks to Loke ! ! <3
