Hey guys need some help! I'm going to be as detailed as possible, but let me know if i need to test/check anything else. This issue has been driving me batty. I've been having this issue for a few games that cause my computer to crash to black screen. Either it completely crashes with a irritating drrrrr sorta noise, or it black screen/video shuts down(no signal) with noise still playing( also to note it is playing with some friends and they can still converse with skype). The games that are causing this is Smite and Endless Legends to name the 2 main culprits. By no means my most demanding games (which includes fallout 4 and witcher 3 that I have played extensively with no crashes).

-I have run Furmark that showed everything fine and Max GPU Temp: 72°C. FPS: min:62, max:69, avg:66 with the FHD test
-I have installed prime95 that passed
-I have installed whocrashed and after 2 crashes got the same error. but alas am not a smart man and need some guidance
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\113015-16203-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntkrnlmp.exe (nt!KeBugCheckEx+0x0)
Bugcheck code: 0x76 (0x0, 0xFFFFE000C73AC080, 0x317, 0x0)
Error: PROCESS_HAS_LOCKED_PAGES
Bug check description: This bug check indicates that a driver failed to release locked pages after an I/O operation, or that it attempted to unlock pages that were already unlocked.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.
-I have installed malwarebites to doublecheck everything. turned out fine
-Thru all of this HWiNFO64 had cpu at any core heat at max 69 C, at min 30C, at average of 38C. gpu at min 35C, max 76C, avg 43C. no crazy powerspikes

Thru all of this I have also checked my psu with a tester all pass. cleaned my insides( not sayin its spotless but no noticable dust anywhere). These are seriously some of my favorite games and have been causing me great amounts of frustration. Please help.


--Edit--
Now all games are crashing. I've tried using ddu to completely remove the drivers and update to the latest NVidia put out today. 359.06.
