Hey everyone! I actually have another post about this HOWEVER I just wanted to make the most relevant post I can because I have tested everything and am now in the bare minimum of things to try!

I have:
Windows 8.1 HOME 64bit
AMD XFX HD7870 GPU
AMD FX 8350 eight-core CPU
ASUS MSA99FX R2.0 MB
8.00GB RAM DDR3
600W CM PSU (recom was 500W)

Alright so I have tested the RAM with 44 passes with windows and memtest with no errors, I have tested the GPU temp during games it gets to about 59C an average with a high of 61C. I have tried the PSU on another CPU works just fine, the Voltage is normal. I have recently uninstalled windows 8 and reinstalled so fresh drivers, their is literally nothing on the computer but Windows 8 and League of legends to test and it still freezes and has "Display driver has stopped working" errors. In the event viewer Kernal Powers "critical" errors pop up before the reset however it could be numerous amount of things. The only thing I have not done yet is updated BIOS and reset the GPU in a different PCI slot, I am not sure if this will really make a difference in the errors I am getting. Also the fan speed of one of my rear fans increases from 1500RPM to 65000RPM for about 3 seconds I dont know if thats normal or if thats caused by some power increase or temp. Any help would be awesome! :D

if "Display driver has stopped working" messages show up many times, this mostly because hardware related failure..in other word, maybe, (just maybe, mate)..your graphic card is dying..

but let's try to solve it..

1.

yes, you have to try this..
and don't forget to clean the golden bridge with pencil eraser or contact cleaner..
and make sure your 6 pin graphic card power cabel is plugged tightly..

2. coolermaster aka crapmaster..well, what model..?
this brand usually make bad psu..

3. just try number one, and see if you have some improvement..

To your number 2, I actually just double checked and I have a Thermaltake Tr2 600W PSU. Not a CM. I will proceed with the reseat and keep you updated from there.

Alright so I have switched the GPU into a different PCI Slot with no luck it still freezes, I also put it in my other desktop and the card works 100% fine with no errors what so ever. So I do not believe it is my GPU, I also put in a GTX 660 and it gave me the same problem as with the AMD HD 7870. Both cards work fine on the other CPU. Something I have read is that the M5A99FX R2.0 ASUS motherboard can't handle a 4.0 MHz processor is that true? or is the second revision R2.0 meant to handle the 4.0 MHz processor. Would under clocking the processor help?

same problem with different card in same mobo..

well, actually M5A99FX R2.0 is an excellent motherboard..in every review, at least in can run at 4.5Ghz..even 5Ghz mark in few benchmark..
for example this one..=> http://www.hitechlegion.com/reviews/motherboards/31671-asus-m5a99fxpro-r2?showall=&start=6

so..
my question..
Are both your computer is exact same specs?

okay, let's try this one..
try to hard resetting your cmos/bios..
if it's still not working, then i suggest you to build your computer outside the case..maybe some electricity short cause this one..
