My computer crashes even when I play small games on max settings like minecraft
 
Solution
Expanding on dtlltd999, download specy and play some games that normally crash it while watching the temps, if any temps get to 100 Celsius than thats your problem, if it is the cpu overheating i would recommend reaseating you cpu and see if that fixes it.


Ok, so your PSU should have enough power for your pc.
Have you checked that you have plug in all the connectors correctly?
Also did you plug in all two cables into the GTX 780 - the 6 pin and the 8 pin as well.
