CPU: AMD Fx - 8370
GPU: ASUS Cerberus GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB OC
MOBO: M5a78l-m-usb3

RAM: 1x Patriot Viper 3 Series DDR3 8GB 1600MHz
2x EVGA SuperSC 8GB DDR3-2133
PSU: Thermaltake Smart 430W 80+ White
HDD: 1 TB Western Digital

So as the title say my computer keeps crashing while running games like CS:GO and GTA, I tried getting a NEW power supply , graphics card, and mother board with no success on solving my issue and i also tried factory resetting my computer many times thiunking maybe it was somehow a virus but none of that helped.

I am only using one Viper stick because the other stopped working out of no where.
 
Solution
Your problem is the M5a78l-m-usb3 motherboard only has a 760G chipset which was never meant for a FX cpu. You could put an old Phenom 965 or 1100t on that board and run just fine., or if he wants to keep the 8370 FX then you will need a board with a 970 or 990 chipset.
