A few more details on problem.
My computer can run 3D mark tests, Firestrike and Time Spy, and even handle prime 95 and FurMark fdor 20-30 minutes, but it crashes in games all the time. Ill boot up a game maybe get past the loading screen and then BANG it crashes.

Thanks in advance!

So my power supplies ampere input is 12. The power strip it is plugged into has a vac rating of 120 so 120 volts. Since my power supply is 850 watts that would mean that the max draw in amps on this circuit would be about 7. Could this be causing my computer to crash?
