I built myself a new computer a few months ago and everything was going okay at first, until i started to get random crashes while gaming. Now i am at the point where it crashes like 10-15 secons in on ultra and lasts a couple minutes on low-medium settings. The games ive been playing lately are bioshock infinite and diablo 3. i use to play crysis 3 n skyrim with no problem i dont see why i cant play these games now. i tried driver sweep n got all new drievers and even reinstalled my OS. I tried lowering/increasing voltage, core clock and power limit but nothing seems to fix it. Temperatures never go over 70 C so i dont think it is over heating.

my system:
Asrock 990fx extreme3
AMD fx 8350 with a new cpu fan
gigabyte gtx 770 oc 2g
psu is 850 corsair modular gold
kingston 2x4 ram

I notice alot of issues with the gtx 770 online but dont really see a way to fix it. If anyone knows what the problem is or can help i would be very grateful.

my pc is on top of my desk right next to the monitor. its in a good spot with plenty of room for air circulation and theres 4 fans in the case. i feel like it is overheating but when i use hwmonitor to watch the temps they dont even go that high. i honestly feel like games cant even play long enough for things to over heat anyway.
