Have you tried setting XMP and seeing what happens?
Sometimes I've seen problems disappear because stock voltage was not enough in some department...not how it should go but happens...
The sudden reboot happened again this morning.
I looked at Event Viewer and found some not unusual errors, a critical one that said something like:
8:03:50 Critical (Kernel-Power) 41 (63): The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
and another:
8:04:05 Error (EventLog) 6008: The previous system shutdown at 8:01:03 AM on 1/8/2017 was unexpected.
But no real indication as to what is causing it.
I just checked my new RAM with Windows Memory Checker, no errors so far.
As far as PSU is concerned, I believe the Corsair CX750M is a good quality unit that has run my previous PC without any issues (granted the components were different) and 750 W is more than enough to run my current set up.
The only new components in my rig are the I7 6700k and the Maximus VIII Hero Alpha.
This is reminiscent of a similar issue I had with a previous store bought ASUS PC with an ASUS P8H61-M PRO Mobo and I7 3770 (not the k version). It was having sudden reboots, but only when I was playing World of Tanks. I thought it was the PSU, the GPU and/or the poorly ventilated basic case. I upgraded the PSU first, then the GPU to a GTX 660, then the case to a Fractal Mini R2 with all fans running and the problem kept happening. Then out of desperation, I decided to change Mobo and upgraded to an ASUS P8Z77-M Pro. Lo and behold, the problem vanished! I used that rig for a couple of years until I decided to upgrade to this system (see first post for system specs) and now I'm having the sudden reboot problem and not when playing games, just randomly or it seems, since it happened twice in about 4-5 days.
