Alienware alpha
Win 10
860m
I3 4730t @2.9 ghz
8g ram

I have been having this problem for about a week now. At first it was only happening when I was gaming, so I thought it was my gpu over heating. So I return the overclock to stock. Problem still happens, undercooked gpu to the max. 3 days ago My problem stops happening, until today when it happens while watching YouTube. Restart my pc, re over clock with my profile on afterburner. Run furmark to it's fullest at my resolution 1920x1080 with gpu burner in random for 1 hour. Nothing happens close everything out except for task manager and go grab something to drink come back and it black screened again please help what is wrong with my pc
