my computer gets a blue screen and restarts at random moments every 5-30 minutes. this happens when i run games as: chivalry mideval warfear, CSGO, LoL, war thunder and simular. I also get the error randomly at desk top or when im downloading something including windows updates. after this error the computer restarts and i get a check for solution mark. when i click this all i get is something about my GPU has stopped working or something. im not too good with computers so plz tell me what to do in a simple way.

I use windows 7 64 bit, intel core i3 over clocked, amd something videocard (i think) and a ghost xfx r 7800 series something

...I know that when I still used my desktop (ran an HD 5770), it started crashing when I OC'd the CPU; it caused severe problems with anything running on PCIe. Your i3 isn't unlocked which means you overclocked it by means of the BCLK? If so, clock everything back to stock speeds and see if the crashing continues. If you're 'not too good with computers', are you sure you overclocked your processor in the first place, or are you referring to something else?...

The obvious steps are to make sure you have the latest video drivers. If all else fails, do a reinstall of Windows; doing so is a pretty reliable fail-safe to rule out any software conflicts. Should they continue, start hardware troubleshooting - strange as it may sound, start with your memory... I had a stick of Corsair ValueRAM go bad a few years back and it constantly pointed to something supposedly populating the PCI bus. Memory can do strange things when it starts to go. Obviously try a different graphics card. If you get that far and it STILL crashes, I'll pick up from there.
