Hi Everyone,

It's my first time posting on the forum so I hope I posted this issue under the correct category.

Basically my computer is freezing after playing games.
This problem is very specific and I can't figure out what the problem is. I recently moved from China to Germany and shipped my desktop here, upon arriving, my computer was always restarting right after logging in into Windows (before moving, it was working fine), I figured it could be a PSU problem, since I read before that with old PSU if they stay off for a long time it can cause problems (and in this case it was a 5 year old Thermaltake 1200W I believe). So before anything, I decided to do a little upgrade on my computer, I bought a new PSU (Thermaltake 950W) and after that, the computer would always freeze after playing games (and I mean within seconds after I finish playing and close the game). When freezing, the screen is always filled in one color( sometimes completely black, sometimes grey, or green, ...)
Since my video card was also not the newest one and I thought it could as well be the video card, I bought a new ASUS GTX770 but the problem was still occurring. I decided to do a fresh install but the problem still persists, I tried to search about this but it's an very odd problem since it only freezes after playing. Most games will freeze the computer right after I close the game and others, Titanfall for example, my computer freezes after I finish a match and go back into the waiting room for the next match, but again, that sometimes happen on the first match or sometimes I can play 3 or 4 matches before my computer freezes.
Now I have no idea what could be causing this problem, I hope someone can give me some help into this issue.
