DirectX crashing my PC

[christoffellis]

So I've had this problem for a while now and its really starting to get to me. Everytime I load up Rust, DirectX 9 or default version, the game boots up like normal, and when I join a server it loads like normal, but when it finally reaches tha point in the loading time where it says Done, it crashes.
Here is a short video of it crashing.

Other games who crash are:
*Skyrim *Cities: Skylines *Far Cry 3

My Specs:
Intel i5 Core 3470 processor
Nvivia Geforce GTX 650 1GB
8GB RAM
Windows 7 64-bit

Things I've tried:
Updating all drivers (Graphics Card, DirectX, Processor).
Running Rust in DirectX 9 and default mode.
Running Rust in Fastest mode.
Only running Rust, nothing else.
Checking if all Rust files are valid.
Running the game in -onethread mode.

All suggestions on a fix are welcome. Please, I'm desperate. This problem has bugged me far a while. Any information you still need I'll be happy to give, just ask

Make sure your graphics card is seated all the way into the motherboard.

Download HWinfo and check that your motherboard voltages are correct. - Post a screenshot of it if you're uncertain.

Run a GPU stress test to see if it happens then as well. You can find one Here .

Make sure you record temperatures (gpu-z works) when you're running this and turn it off if temperatures get too high ~90C.

So here is the HWinfo voltage page:

When I ran the GPU stress test, the moment I clicked sytart, my PC crashed, same manner as the video.

Ops forgot to tell you, check the "Sensors only" when you open HWInfo. Then scroll to the motherboard.

Not sure which one

The most likely cause of this is a faulty PSU. Can you tell me which one you got exactly? PSU = Power Supply.

What I recommend you do first, is borrowing a PSU you know works from a friend, make sure it is sufficient to power your components, so at least a 400W PSU. (Preferably get a 600W+)
If you can't do that, then buy a new one with some sort of warranty in case it is not the problem after all.

If you end up buying a new one, check out this thread here:

Also on HWInfo there is a button looking like a sheet of paper, with a green + on it, called "logging start". Click that, save to desktop or somewhere you know you can find the file, and run the GPU test again. When you start your PC back up, can you post this file somewhere on the internet?

I opened up my PC, and although I'm not 100% sure, I think it is 550W. I just to check, here is a photo:

Could it be that the PSU is faulty? In that case, what voltage should I look for? 400W-600W-ish?

 

[Vice93]

Borrow another from a friend to test with. If it works, then buy a new PSU that is 600W or more.

The thread I linked you is good for finding a new PSU if you're going to be looking for one somewhere local. I'll go ahead and link it once http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Now if you just want to order a new one online, then consider this one:
