Computer crashing and rebooting randomly for games

[casino99roy]

I've moved my computer a lot since I built it in August of 2012 (new parts labeled below in specs with dates). About two months ago I was housesitting for my cousin and I brought my computer over. When I'd sign into Warframe it would immediately crash and reboot (as if I was just starting it up). Looking at the Warframe subreddit it seemed it was happening to a lot of people with the new patch. I tried I don't even know how many fixes and the only thing that worked was disabling DirectX 10 and 11... which meant I was lucky to get 40 frames. So I reinstalled windows on my SSD (it needed cleaning out anyways) and hurrah, Warframe runs without crashes!

Except now I'm getting crashes randomly on like every other game. I haven't had any while browsing the internet, watching streams, or any non game-related things. Yet on games like Overwatch, Path of Exile, or Dead By Daylight I'm lucky if I can even load the game without a crash. I can play 1-2 games of Rocket League before getting a crash. All these crashes made me assume it had something to do with the load on my PSU, but Monster Hunter World seems to run fine (no crashes yet!) and I've put 100ish hours into it so far according to Steam.

Eventually I remembered my motherboard has an LED error light. It gave me some small error, which I googled and after going down a rabbit hole I found the solution was to go into Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do and then disable the "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" option. This stopped the crashes for like a week and then they slowly started coming back to the point where I can't open half of my games without an immediate crash. I have gotten ZERO more LED error codes since I toggled that option.

I've also noticed that if my computer goes to sleep I have to unplug and replug my headset or Windows just doesn't recognize it anymore.

My specs are:

• 
  PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 650W ATX12V/EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply
  
  Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
  
  CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W BX80637I73770K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000
  
  RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
  
  GPU (10/2017): EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW2 GAMING, 8GB GDDR5, iCX Technology - 9 Thermal Sensors & RGB LED G/P/M, Asynch Fan, Optimized Airflow Design Graphics Card 08G-P4-6676-KR
  
  HDD (12/2014): Hitachi Ultrastar 7K3000 HUA723020ALA641 2TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Enterprise Hard Drive -OEM
  
  SSD (7/2017): Samsung 850 EVO

As far as solutions go I've tried:

• 
  Reinstalling windows (again)
  
  Removing every component, blowing them with compressed air to make sure they're as clean as possible
  
  Making sure every component is re-seated correctly with no loose wires
  
  Reinstalling Steam and any games that crashed
  
  Disabling the "reboot when an error occurs" option (someone said it might get me an error code I could Google)
  
  Doing the Windows memory diagnostic

I was prompted to post here because a friend asked for help on Path of Exile and opening the game caused an immediate crash even though I had just been playing it a few hours ago. I just attempted to open it again after making this post and despite having it installed, Steam is telling me I need to install it to play it.

Event Viewer gives me:
Source: Kernel-Power
Event ID: 41
Task Category (63)
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

WhoCrashed is telling me dumps are enabled but none have been written.

Looking at the age of the psu might it be that since restarting with cause of powwer loss and without dumpfile made.Don't know why the one game does work,maybe it puts less strain on the psu in total.
Looking at that you reseated pretty much everything does it seem more likely as well.
