Computer Freezes during certain games with a twist

This may seem like a very strange issue (yea, stated a ton before) but my problem is slightly different from others.

My specs
Biostar TA970
AMD FX-6100
6gb Microcenter Ram (2gb went to a server)
Intel 140gb 520 SSD
WD 250gb 7200rpm (2007 I think)
OZX 600w PSU
Sapphire 6950 Dual-X
TP-Link 300mps wNic
That's all the stuff that matters.
I have changed everything back to stock clock, all drivers are up to date.
This is where it gets interesting...
I can fun FurMark and my GPU only gets up to 65 Celsius and obviously doesn't crash
Prime 95, I can run all 3 tests and I never get a crash and temps are very low still with a Hyper 212 Evo
I have even ran FurMark and Prime 95 (all the tests) at the same time and it hasn't resulted in a crash. I did this to test my PSU as well.
I have also scanned my HDDs and no cigar.

The computer only freezes when I play certain games including:
Battlefield 4
COD MW2
Kerbal Space Program
and Starbound


It also freezes sometimes when I am browsing the internet
The Freeze doesn't consist of anything particularly interesting. The audio will stop, everything will freeze and the image will stay on the screen. The only solution is to hard reset the darn thing.

Any ideas or solution's may help

My though is the motherboard because I have had a biostar in my main build have similar problems and replacing the motherboard fixed them
 
Solution
Run memtest86 for 6+ passes. This will rule out bad RAM which can easily be the cause of freezes.

Also, what are your CPU and GPU temps under load?

Is just may be. I will buy a new one and if it doesn't fix the problem then I will return it and keep trying.

After all this rigerous testing I forgot to put my wireless nic back in my computer and now it doesn't crash anymore.
Never would have guested that.

Thank you all very much for the support. :)
