So I have been getting this error for a pretty long time now and I can't get it fixed. It seems to only happen with more heavy games like BF3, BF4, GtaV and Fallout 4 and it has never happened with Counter-Strike:Global Offensive in which I have spent lots of hours in. I have this pc for about 2 years and pretty much got the error with it. I never really cared to much since I only played CS but now that I can't play Fallout 4 it's bothering me a lot.
This is the error I'm talking about

After a certain time between ~10 minutes to 2 hours of playing my screen turns black then my game crashes and the above popup will show.

MY SPECS :
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Intel core i5 4570 @ 3.2 GHz
G-skill ripjaw 8Gb ram (F3-12800CL9Q-8GBZL)
MSI GTX 660 Twin frozr
Seagate 1TB st1000DM003 7200 SA
Corsair RM850

Here is a list of thing I have already tried and didn't work

- Fully deleting all drivers of Nvidia with Revo uninstaller pro and did a clean re-install
- Updating my GPU driver to the latest version (clean install)
- Installing different graphic drivers (clean install)
- Updating my BIOS
- Updating other drivers besides the GPU one
- Changing settings in the Nvidia configuration window like energy mode to optimal and PhysX settings to my GPU
- Checking the temperature and it does not go above 60C (nothing is overheating)
- Bought a new PSU (not a waste of money though, could be handy for later upgrading)
- Changing the TdrDelay to 8
- Cleaned the pc from dust
- Unplugged the GPU and put it back in

If there is anything else you need to know just ask and I will do my best to give you all the info you need.

At this moment I'll be going to bed but I will be checking-in next thing in the morning.

I'm looking forward to your replies!
