So I'm gonna start off by saying that this is my first time upgrading in a computer, and though I did try to make sure that I was doing it right, I may have made a few mistakes.
So I recently got the Gtx 760 graphics card (Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130932) (upgraded from a AMD Radeon 7750, big upgrade) and I did not realize until I got the card and plugged it in that I did not have the extra 6pin and 8pin power supply connectors required to run the GPU, as I had a REALLY BAD PSU (Corsair 430w, yeah I know). So I upgraded and decided to get a PSU that allowed for growth, the Corsair CX750M (Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139051).
Now that I had gotten the computer up and running with no trouble, I was excited to start playing some of my games on it! But first I was prompted to upgrade my Nvidia Graphics Card driver. I did this and in the middle of installing the download the computer crashed (completely turned off). Turned it back on and it was having some difficulty powering back up. I also experienced a crash just while browsing the internet. I started The Elder Scrolls online and crashed after about 5 minutes of playing. Then I facepalmed, I had forgotten to update my CPU drivers! (Link to CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113331). I did so and then everything worked fine for a much longer time until I opened up The Walking Dead Season 2 (the game) and it black screened and crashed the PC as the main menu was trying to get pulled up. The last time I crashed was when I was in the middle of town in ESO again.
My Cooler is the Asetek 510LC Liquid Cooling System 120mm Radiator & Fan (Enhanced Cooling Performance + Extreme Silent at 20dBA) [+0] (Single Standard 120mm Fan), can't seem to find it online.
Anyways, can anyone tell what my problem is with the computer? It doesn't appear to be overheating, as I ran the program Core Temp and the computer never went over 33 degrees Fahrenheit and in the middle of gaming I wasn't warned that the computer was at critical levels of heat (it was set to warn me of just that).
