Pc freezes whilst playing any game

[evgenipelmeni]

First crash happened a day ago and since then crashes have been more common and every time i start a game now(for example pubg, r6 siege) my video freezes grey after 1-10 minutes. But audio seems to be working. Pc froze completely meaning i couldnt do anything and the audio from the game cut off after around 10 seconds but teamspeak was still working i could still talk and hear and stuff. I tried new drivers, old drivers troubleshooting, stresstests were successful on gpu cpu and ram and the windows protocol tells me that it was a video hardware error. 

Specs:

Gtx 970 strix

i5 4590 

700 watt supply 

16 gigs ddr3 ram

Note: Pc is 4-5 years old; A similar problem had already occured but cleaning everything from dust solved the problem ( i think) 

 

And i completely dismantled my gpu and whilst cleaning i noticed a shining spot half an inch thick. It was some kinda fluid but i couldnt wipe it off only make it "thinner" and after cleaning it worked for around 25 minutes of pubg and then i slightly kicked my pc with my leg and it froze again... Any suggestions?

 

EDIT: I'm sorry for any grammar mistakes and spelling errors

What PSU? What CPU? Is anything overclocked?

Could be that spewing out bad power, or something else.

Sharkoon WPM700 bronze and i5 4590. I overclock my GPU for pubg only but not always and then i'll usually reset it

Any way to recognize any problems with it? 
It seemed fine the last couple years

Germany and budget is enough for some replacement parts

Computer crashing/freezing when trying to do anything intensive is generally indicative of a bad overclock, or a bad PSU. In this case, the formal is not possible, so the latter is probably true. Just get something cheap like the seasonic s12II 520w, or anything else from the top three tiers of the PSU list. You don't need 700w:

Replace it no matter what, but make sure to also change out your thermal paste as that could be a factor. Also, how did that psu last over 1 year without killing anything? you are very lucky it didn't take down your motherboard and CPU.

my guess would be the PSU, mine is starting to let go, if its not kept super clean my pc crashes under load.

yeah thermal paste on my gpu was rock solid. I cleaned everything i could clean and it seemed to work. I also plugged a 6 pin into my 8 pin gpu and it works fine.(was an accident though).
