I ran memtest and it passed with 0 erros. I really dont know what is going on with my psu need help. Im thinking it might be psu.

It happens like on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0phs9R9INpw

It happened while playing arma 3 and few times while browsing internet.

you sure it's not the graphic card or graphic drivers?

I updated my gpu drivers and it was happening even before that.

try uninstalling them in safe mode with DDU

then reinstall them. Since the 660 is no longer "supported" by nvidia, you might need to go back to some older drivers to find some that don't freeze up. Maybe all the way back to the WHQL 310.70, or so.

The problem you have is there are a number of things which can cause your problem, but the most likely cause might just be your gpu drivers.

Hey i just used psu calculator and it said that i need around 26.7A on 12v rail on my psu, but on a box of my psu it says it is 20A on 12v rail. Could that cause instability. Btw i had alot of problems overclocking cpu...

It could be your psu. Certainly freezing and black screen reboots are a symptom of voltage problems.

I oredered Corsair RM550x power supply i will message when it gets delivered and when i test it. I hope it helps me get stable overclocks and no more random freezes.
