Hello !
Computer specifications:
Windows 7 Professional
Intel Core i7-4790K
MSI Z97 GAMING 5, Socket-1150
HyperX Fury DDR3 1600MHz 16GB Black
ASUS GeForce GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA
DirectCU II OC
HyperX 3K SSD 240GB 2.5"

Tl;dr: Most games are crashing with a c0000005 exception. I have formatted discs, swapped out RAM and GPU but without any luck. Thinking of buying a new motherboard next. Thoughts?
I probably should have included some crash dumps, but I haven´t got my computer available at the moment.
NOTE: I have done memtest for several hours, ran stress test on CPU and GPU, disk check, watched temps and nothing out of the ordinary.
EDIT: I flashed my BIOS to the newest update some weeks ago. After that both GTA V and Farming Simulator 2015 worked for like 40 minutes total before the crashing started again.
Ever since i built my PC about 1.5 years ago, there has been some instability, especially with certain games. Most of my games are crashing with a memory_access_violation error and the error code is c0000005. Google Chrome tabs are also crashing, though not as frequent as my games. The only games I haven´t had any problems with are mainly blizzard games(they do however crash when running the 64-bit clients).League of legends, Trial fusion, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and The Long Dark have not yet produced this crash either. I have had about 15 BSODs since I built the computer. Most of the BSODs has been ´irql_not_less_or_equal´ and has not occurred very often when running windows 7 professional. In windows 8.1 however , this would happen about 2 times a day. When I first installed windows 7 on my SSD it would not boot after install. I managed to solve this by reseating the cables to the SSD. I d
Not very long ago I installed some updates through MSI Live update, and i experienced some major instability. Windows explorer would continuously crash with the c0000005 exception and the same happened with svchost.exe. After that I formatted my system drive, but the crashes kept happening. I then removed my RAM(hyperx) and installed a RAM stick(corsair)which I borrowed from a friend. This seemed to take care of the explorer and svchost, crashes, but not the crashes happening when playing games. I swapped out the borrowed RAM with my own and this did not trigger the explorer and svchost crashes. In addition to testing with different RAM I also tested with a different GPU, but this didn´t fix the game crashes either.
Yesterday I got a BSOD, which I haven´t experienced in about two months. This time it was a machine_check_exception BSOD. From my testing, I have concluded that this is hardware related, as I have done clean install of windows several times, but without any luck . A new GPU and RAM has also been tested, but this didn´t solve the problem either. So my question is: which component is likely the culprit ? I am thinking the motherboard, but i wanted to see if I could get some input on the matter before buying a new one.
I appreciate all answers .
