I've been having trouble with my PC crashing when I play some video games on it. The PC has worked very well for the couple of years I've had it for, and only just recently started giving me problems. I first had this problem while playing the game Lords of the Fallen, but I've since had the same issue while playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I'm unsure what the problem is. As far as I can see, all my fans are running fine, and I cleaned out my computer a couple times in hopes that would help. I've had some minor trouble with the psu in the past, but upon switching out my psu for a better more powerful one, I have some better performance but still suffer the crashes just the same. My graphics drivers are up to date as well, so that shouldn't be a problem. While playing Lords of the Fallen my CPU temp can get up to 80 degrees C, and the GPU can run up to 58 degrees C before crashing. Here are my PC specs via a Speccy snapshot:

I also used WhoCrashed and got this report:
