So, been having this issue for a while now. Just got back to where I can play games again and really wanting to figure out what is going on.
Built this system in February of last year and this issue has been somewhat present. Used to happen once in a blue moon and always thought it was just video driver related... but has since gotten worse to where it's almost any modern game causes all 3 of my screens to go black and all sound to stop. Only way I can do anything is if I shut it off and turn it back on.
Though it might be my old PSU, so just recently purchased a much beefier one but still crashing. Honestly don't know what else I can do. I've ran Memtest for 3 days straight and did like 8 passes and found no faults. I've tried every driver version for my video card since Win 10 came out and they all do the same thing. So either CPU, Mobo, or GPU is faulty?

At a loss of what is going on. Sadly no other board, CPU, or GPU to test to see if it's one of those and can't afford to replace them currently. Any suggestions?
Specs;
i7 4790k
Corsair h100i
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 FTW
MSI Gaming 5
4x 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 @ 1600 MHz
EVGA 1300G2
Radeon R7 240GB SSD
Toshiba 7200RPM 1TB HDD
WD Green 3TB HDD
