Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive.

My problem is my computer is continually black-screening. Usually around after half an hour to an hour of using it, the monitor goes completely black and is takes a full reset to get it working again. The lights in the computer and on my mouse and keyboard will stay on, and if I was listening to audio at the time, there is a loud buzzing sound. This is a brand new build.

List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.

I've updated all my drivers and done a lot with computer settings such as setting link state power, and my best guess is its an issue with one of the parts.

Post relevant photos of build/parts here.

I have a suspicion that is might be a psu program. I downloaded speccy to check but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for. Here's the readout if its any help to you : http://imgur.com/oRz4X1L

Provide any additional details you wish below.

Like I said, my first suspicious based on what I've read online is that it's a psu problem, but I'm not sure how to affirm those decisions. Thank you so much for any insight you can offer.
