If I had to take a guess at Braindrop problems with the crashing I would have to point fingers at one of a few things. Let me preface this by saying that I don't know if he uses GPU or CPU to render, I would have to guess GPU, but...
1. Driver error - double check that the GPU drivers are up to date. However, this would usually result in a BSOD and Event logs, so probably now this.
2. Heat Problems are more likely, as thermal overload can cause a power supply or PC to just shut down - Open the PC Up and do a quick cleaning. Doesn't have to be in-depth, but at least use some compressed air to blow out the fans...
3. Power fluctuation as z2lid mentioned.
4. Some kind of out-of-memory error. I don't know a whole lot about iray, but if using the GPU, most render engines can only use the max memory of the GPU to render. However most of the time this would not cause a hard reboot, it would be a BSOD like a driver error.
