My computer crashes seemingly at random, followed by it starting up again and beeping 4 times. When it starts up nothing happens, and it forces me to restart the computer using the power button.
My specs are:

I7-3770, a gtx 960 with 4gb ram, 16 gb of ram and a 750w power supply.

I also have windows 10 and an acer motherboard (don't know which one)

Thank you for reading this, have a nice day.
 
4 Beeps is either a ram error or system timer error depending one which BIOS you have. My money is on a RAM issue. Try removing a stick of ram and running the system again, if the problem goes away then it was that stick. If not replace that first stick and remove another. You may have to shuffle the ram a little bit to do this testing reference your motherboard manual.

The PSU is from fractal design, and i will try cpu-z if i can get the computer to start. I have alsogotten multiple bsod with different error messages: pfn_list_corrupt, kernel_securit, bugcode_usb_driver, system_service_exception, if it helps.

Thanks for replying so fast btw.
