So you’re also saying you only have one fan in the entire PC other than the radiator fans? You ideally need one intake on the front and one exhaust on the back, at a minimum.
Have you verified your pump is working yet?
Yeah, I have a CPU fan but for some reason it doesn't seem to work.
I'm not too sure how to check whether the pump is working correctly. I can hear the water flowing when I turn my computer on if that means anything?
I guess that’s a good indication. How do you have a CPU fan and a water cooler that doesn’t make sense. show us some pics of your PC inside?
I mean the fan on the case, I don't have a CPU fan dedicated to the CPU.

Water flowing is indeed a good indication you have a working pump. You already checked radiator fans, right, and that it's not clogged? Coolant alone won't cool your CPU - you need a working heat exchanger (your radiator). This needs access to good airflow.
It's also possible there's air in your plumbing. This will decrease the efficiency of your cooling unit. You could theoretically bleed this out but it's going to be a pain, and there's no guarantee it's even there.
It might be worth contacting the manufacturer of your cooling unit.
I have the same CPU and it rarely goes above 50 degrees and that's in an NZXT H440 case and being cooled by a Corsair H105.
I might have missed it in the post but what heatsink and case do you have?
I contacted my local computer repair shop and they told me to tighten the water cooler which seemed to help a lot as I'm currently running Garry's Mod and it hasn't crashed. However, if it continues to crash, they told me to go to their store and they'll properly diagnose/fix it for me.
Thank you to everyone that has helped!

Could i ask, Do you have the latest windows update? I've seen a few posts on various tech forums that it's causing CPU temp errors
It could be your cooling system is just not working. Have you tested that or was that already mentioned?
What voltage is the 4790K running on. Some people have had the voltage randomly turn up in the BIOS. Also is your BIOS up to date?

I'm pretty sure I do, but I don't think that it has caused the crashing as my CPU was overheating before I downloaded it.
