Introduction:
So Minecraft kept on crashing my computer, where the only way to solve the issue was to do a manual restart of my computer (in other words, I had to press the power button). There was no blue screening, no error messages, all it did was freeze my entire computer for a few seconds, then the monitor would go black. It kept on doing this, and I had no idea how to solve it. So I started a new topic, asking for help. I got a few suggestions, and I did a bit of my own research. As it turns out, I am not the only one with that issue. I read in another topic, that one of the users increased their GPU fan speed by a little bit and that solved the problem.
The problem:
-Minecraft froze my computer after a period of playing it; the screen remained frozen for about 5 or so seconds
-after those 5 seconds passed, my screen went black and my monitor lost connection (my monitor is connected to my GPU)
-I then would have to press the power button to turn it off, then on.
The Solution:
That seemed to have been the only solution, until I found out that my GPU was over-heating. If you think that you have the same problem as me, here is my solution:
STEP 2) Increase the fan speed; I recommend increasing it bit by bit, rather than setting it to max and not knowing what might happen next. I increased my GPU fan from 10% to 30% and there was no increased noise level and it helped my game a lot.
STEP 3) Change up some of your Minecraft settings! If you have a 32-bit computer, don't play Minecraft with your render distance set to "far". I downloaded optifine and lowered a bunch of other settings, so that I don't put a lot of stress on my GPU.
Keep in mind, that this will only help if you think that your GPU is over-heating. If you think that you might have a problem with RAM, I would suggest either buying more of it, or replacing your existing RAM (I believe that most companies will replace your RAM, if you think that there was a manufacturing error AND if you have a warranty).
Thank you for reading this post, I hope that I was able to help!

STEP 1) download and install this program: http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?p=9&m=GPU Tweak&hashedid=n/a
it will allow you to make changes to your GPU's fan speed, clock and memory clock, notify your drivers are up to date and many other features.
STEP 2) Increase the fan speed; I recommend increasing it bit by bit, rather than setting it to max and not knowing what might happen next. I increased my GPU fan from 10% to 30% and there was no increased noise level and it helped my game a lot.
