Hello guys,
A friend of mine built this:
E3-1231V3+16GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical DDR3 1600 CL8+Galax GTX970EX OC+XFX 750W XXX+Win 7 pro x64
He installed everything fresh, updated the driver, etc.
There 4 games which crash all the time during launch, not even in the game a.k.a. can not be started and I can not reach even start menu of those games.
The crash is a hard crash, nothing can be done beside long pressing the power button.
They are Medal of Honor 2010, Starcraft 2, XCOM Enemy Unknown (+ Enemy Within) and XCOM The Bureau Declassified.
He came to me asking what went wrong.
So, I came to him and tried BF3, ME 2+3, Dead Space 1 + 3, Injustice, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, Crysis 2, Bioshock Infinite, Tropico 3+4+5, Torchlight 2 (with SynergiesMod), Skyrim (vanila), etc. in total 27 games (yes, all of them with maxed settings to check if the GPU or PSU has failures).
I tried to play at least 30 mins each during this week.
Proc max temp is below 60'C and GPU is below 70'C.
All of those 27 games work fine except those 4.
The normal 27 games and the problematic 4 are on the same SSD.
Those 4 worked several months ago (he said) on his old Q6600+DDR2 platform.
Checking hardware failures with diagnostic tools (memcheck, Intel diagnostic tools, etc.), re-downloading the game, basic trouble shooting like on the home websites of those games, etc. nothing helps.
I tried even installing the Windows clean again.
I do not know anymore what are the problems.
I wrote already to the support of 2k, Blizzard, etc. since the beginning of this week, they still can not come with a useful solution.
Any idea, what to do next?

1.Try the following setting in NVidia Control panel :
3D Settings->Adjust image settings with preview ->Let the 3D application decide .

2.Installing the new Geforce drivers , remove the support of the old PhysX . So , for old games which need PhysX , you must install Nvidia Physx Legacy Driver:

Ok, here are some updates
I did number 1+2 and manage to start XCOM Enemy Within. The strange thing is, Enemy Unknown, which should be the base of Enemy Within (For those who are no familiar with this game: Enemy Within is the addon or expansion to Enemy Unknown), is still causing hard crash.
That is really strange, there gotta be something wrong with the startup script from 2k.

Starcraft 2 hard crashes the PC during the attempt to log in, I am waiting for some ideas from Blizzard support for this.
Tried to go insde the game with Battlenet offline mode (also pulled the net cable) and started SC2, I can go further and see the start screen.
I plugged the cable back and tried to log in, it does not matter if the given data is correct or not, PC is having hard crash afterwards.

No status update on Medal of Honour 2010, this one crashes still.
