Computer instability in games

[sullivan.fagan]

I have been having problems with my gaming PC leading to games crashing and sometimes even BSOD.  It seems to be happening with games such as Dark Souls III, The Witcher III, Battlefleet Gothic and World of Tanks.  It doesn't seem to have a problem with games such as Dark Souls, Rocket League, Payday 2 or any game that is largely 2D.  I have tried doing clean installs of the games that were crashing as well as integrity checks of the games. In doing so I did find some problems with the games in question, however it did not solve the problem.  I have made sure that all of my drivers are up to date and that my computer is not overheating(i have to run my graphics card fan at close to it's maximum in some games to make sure it doesn't overheat but it never reaches 80 degrees).  In testing the memory i have found no problems.  I have also stress tested the graphics card and it did go to BSOD once with the error "unexpected_kernel_mode_trap" I have not yet been able to replicate the results.  Any help is appreciated.

 

I am running Windows 10 pro 64 bit

i5-4430 cpu @ 3.00GHz

8GB RAM

the GPU is a R9 280 from Club 3d

 

If I left anything out or you would like more specific information please let me know.

Thank you in advance

Have you checked event viewer?

[sullivan.fagan]

the event viewer came back with this, note only looking at the critical errors

 

"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

 

also not sure if this may be of use but under the details tab it showed this
