Did you do a fresh install of new drivers? Non-beta ones of course.
Yes that is an obligatory question isn't it?
If it ain't that..check for bad sectors in your HDD, sometimes that causes lock-ups.
I had problems like that too with my 7970 til it died. Had to replace it.

^ Definitely this if you can. Sounds like a power supply issue. You can try http://www.memtest86.com/ to test your RAM too. Windows might also have a record for what happened in you event logs. run--> eventvwr.msc

Install MSI Afterburner and underclock your GPU. If that solves it or delays the crash, your GPU is faulty.

Hi, i've been having a problem lately with my pc, randomly (i cannot reproduce the problem, i tried stressing the cpu and the gpu with no result) the pc crashes. It happens in two forms:
I thought that this could be a problem related to the gpu or the psu, so I tried putting my gpu in my brother's pc and using mine with the onboard graphics. Since then (about 1 day and a half) neither of the pcs crashed.
I'm a bit confused about the problem, I still think it has to do with the psu but i'm not sure and i don't wanna waste money buying the wrong part.
My pc has about 2 years and a half and it never had any problem since i built it.
Here are the specifications (in case they are needed):
CPU: Intel i5 3570k
PSU: Corsair tx 650
Graphic Card: Gigabyte Amd Radeon HD7950
Motherboard: Asrock Z77 EXTREME4
RAM: 2x4 GB Corsair Vengeance
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 412S
Hard Disk: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
Do you have any idea on what could be the problem?
Thanks.
Ps.: while stressing the gpu i checked the teperatures and seemed normal.
Pps.: i don't think it's a software problem cause the problem happened either in windows and ubuntu.
