built my pc about a year ago and it worked fine the first couple of months but for a while now it will crash randomly while playing most games. i could play terraria, shellshock, dont starve, etc just fine but it will crash while playing csgo, pubg, fortnite, h1z1, bf1, etc. i thought at first maybe my pentium g4560 was too low end so i upgraded to an i5 7500k. still same issue. someone suggested that it may have been a bad installation of windows 10 causing the problem so i got a new hard drive and installed windows 10 with the same issue. ive tried to unpark my cpu cores. no dice. it still crashes and when i say random i mean i could play for hours on end and be okay but on some days i could play 5 minutes and crash. my temps all hang around 60 degrees celsius which ive heard is too low to cause this problem. when it crashes i usually get a black screen and no audio. ive noticed that when it does crash i usually trigger the crash by pressing a button on my keyboard doesnt matter which one. as an example lets say im playing csgo and wanna see the scoreboard so i hit 'tab' boom it crashes or wanna see inventory in pubg so i hit 'e' boom crash. so can some please PLEASE give me some help i would really appreciate it.
