Overclocking will make crashes worse, so take that off the list of things to try.

In game crashes are often caused by a bad video card, and since you have already reinstalled Windows, we can rule out a driver or other software issue.

Remove the video card and play the games using the onboard video hardware, is that stable? Will be slower of course, but see if it will run fine.

If it runs fine, test your card in another computer with enough power to run it. Try it for a bit not just 10 minutes, maybe run a benchmark on it several times in a row. If you see the same issue, you verified that the card is bad and you now need to see why, maybe it's heat, remove the heatsink, apply new heat grease, make sure it's all clean and case is...

If the card is clean and case is OK, the issue is in the chips and you need to get the card replaced.
