I have been at wits end over my rig. I have tried reinstalling my OS. Have done Rma's on almost all my parts that pertain to the issue. What could be the reason?

To start off, any game that is graphic intensive such as Watch_Dogs,Far Cry 3, Batman Arkham City/Asylum, Crysis 3 , and Mortal Kombat(2011). Will crash for no reason at all. I can tell when the game is going to crash because the game will drop frame rate out of nowhere and will freeze. To be shot to the desktop with "(game name) has stopped working". I do not understand this. I have done a OS reinstall with every part RMA'd with no avail.

Here are my specs with RMA's noted I also keep all clock speeds at stock to avoid other issues.

MSI Z77A-G45 (RMA'D for same board)
Intel i5 3570k w/ Enermax 120mm Cooler
8GB G.Skill 1600mhz RAM
GTX 770 SC w/ ACX (RMA'd from GTX 670 FTW ) & tested a 760 ACX
Intel 520 120GB SSD (OS installed)
Seagate Desktop 1TB HDD (All my games stored here)
850 Watt Thermaltake Smart series modular PSU
Antec Nine Hundred Two V3 USB 3.0

My temps are fine under load, but I can't stay under load for long otherwise it crashes. I haven't gotten any blue screens just games crashing constantly. What do you think the reason is?

Here are some things you might try:
Test your RAM using memtest.
Install MSI Afterburner and have your temps, CPU&GPU usage, but most important the memory usage displayed while gaming.

Did you try to lower the settings and play? Do you get the same thing?
I`m wondering if you`re not reaching the 2GB VRAM limit, and that`s what`s causing the crashed.
I remember that I was reaching 2BG VRAM usage in BF4 MP.

Also games such as G-Mod, AntiChamber, FEAR, and the Half-Life 2 series do not have this issue. That's why I'm confused. I know they are not as hard on the system to play.

Well I've got good news and bad news. Good news is I replaced the motherboard and I get some games running better. Bad news is that games like watch dogs and crysis 3 still crash. I was reading somewhere at that bringing up the voltage on factory overclocked cards could fix this, anybody else have any proof of this. It's worth a shot if it works.

Well I am starting to think its software, but I maybe wrong. Now G-mod is crashing to desktop doesn't cause the game to crash, however I can't open it back up. I have to close it and open it again to play. The PSU and Mobo is not the problem. What else is there. My next thing is to do a fresh install of the OS. What do you guys think?
