Try WhoCrashed (download it) and check and explore Reliability Monitor* (within Windows).

* Click on a day for that day's program crashes etc, and double-click the entries to display info such as faulting module and exception code. Then browse for info regarding that on the web for a possible solution (and post here if you want).

i was getting same kind of issue on my old machine, i found that i had a faulty ram slot on my board, i used 1 stick and tried it in all 4 to narrow down the issue, i took a while as my machine wasn't crashing instantly it was more after 1/2 hours.
Hope this is of any help.
 
memory tests i did few days ago and it said (The Windows Memory Diagnostic tested the computer's memory and detected no errors) test done on 03/06/2015 17:57:28
and under details page said it passed

did few more memory test today and same all pass

regarding ram ive only got 1 plug in atm will try swapping them around to see if same happens and will post bk.

ive done so many clean installs swaping hard drives the drives should be up to date but i will recheck again just in case.

and i did this few days ago too
ive did few power tests from diff ant web sites entering pc spec into power calculators from what i rember it says my pc shud be useing around 500 watt . did this test incase it was loseing power somehow but my psu is 750 watt

ive set up my old pc its an gigabyte mother bored i5 2.66 4gb ddr4 ram 3tb hdd drive(use to have the ssd in it )windows 7 and 620 watt psu test my old gcard in it works fine no crashes as i knew it world work. now tested new r9 gcard in it and no crash not 1 =D running app called furmark been over hour running nicely at 70 temp max its gone @ 43 % fan speed max load run test like 50 times now not as long as st one i did but if i run this test in my new pc with gcard in it . it will crash 90 % of time when the test is started.


in less you guys got any more ideas am now gonna try
1. ram testing
2. making sure drivers are up to date / keep looking into Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power error i had because everything i came across for this on the web is driver stuff and i can over 80 of those for each time it crashed
3. swap new psu to old pc with new gcard in it test again
4.try find some apps to test ssd ram cpu mother bored psu if guys know of any would be grate =D

so i don't know why both gcard cash in new pc new gcard crashes a hell of a lot more

and am sorry too if any of you find it hard trying to read what i say been rigth clicking so many words to use spell check lol its coz i have Dyslexia
 
drivers all rechecked

checked ram all ok had no crash doing test with old gcard
had few with new card in it tho (put old psu 620 watt in and no crash at all atm)

did stress test on cpu 100% load temps hitting 50-55 40% fan didn't shut down


put new psu 750watt and new card in old pc and crash. did crash few times with old card but as many as new card.

so it looks like my new 750wat corsair psu is faulty when it trys dawning power gets to high point where it shuts down is that a thing ?

so from my testing ive done. both pc only crash when new psu new gcard and old gard are used in some sort of combo . so am gonna keep old psu and new gcard in and post bk when it fails. but if it dont fail i still post bk in few days to let you guys know hows its going never know if this info may help anyone else.
