Random CTDs when Gaming or running Karspersky

Hi there, I'm new here and I have a problem since last week. Recently I started to experience crashes to desktop when online gaming, including League of Legends, Neverwinter and later Dungeons and Dragons Online. I decided to test a bunch of them to determine whether it's a app related error, and it seems it's not the case. I then started scanning for malware and viruses and came to the Karspersky Virus Removal tool, which takes a lot of time and resources, apparently, as it soon crashed both times I tried to run, within around 10-20% of the complete scan. My pc is less than 1 year old and started to show these symptoms this month. There was only one BSOD (memory could not be written), the other instances the programs would just stop responding. I ran memtest86+ for around 9 hours (5 passes) today just to make sure it wasn't a memory issue. My specifications:

Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe
Intel i7 3770 3.4ghz
2x Kingston 4gb DDR3-1373 RAM
ATI Radeon HD 6850 GOU
Corsair CX 600w PSU
Windows 7 64-bit.

I looked for another topics with problems similar to mine and came upon some benchmark tools as HWMonitor to check the PSU Voltages, but my display doesn't show there the PSU main voltages 12V and 5V.
Also thought of using GPU-Z and Furmark to check my GPU, but decided to post this before, to get better directions.. By the way, the only parts of this pc that belonged to an older one are the GPU and the main HDD Samsung HD502HJ 250 gb. My current temperatures for idling CPU and GPU are respectively 38º-54ºC and 44ºC-55ºC, min/max settings.

Thanks for the help

Oh, in that case, I will guess it is the RAM speed, as DDR3-1600 MHz is the slowest speed most games or antivirus runs on. Today's "standard" is DDR3-1866 or DDR3-2133, but DDR4 is coming out next year and has been confirmed.

I didn't mean both at the same time, I think I might not have expressed myself clearly. Whenever I run a game or I run Karsperky I get these results.

If that were the case I believe I'd have experienced these crashes ever since I built the pc, right? But I've had it for 10 months straight and just now they started.
