Hi, I need help figuring out why my computer crashes during games. It crashes to black screen with buzzing in speakers.

Non-gaming: Works perfectly.

The Division: My first game. Played fine. I completed the whole game. Now it crashes during menu. I was modifying graphics and video settings.

Witcher 3: Played ok for a while. Then it started crashing during game play.

Dungeon Defender: No crashes. Plays fine at 3440x1440 100hz/fps

Minecraft: No crashes. Plays fine at 3440x1440 100hz/fps

What I've tried:
Updated NVIDIA driver.
Tried messing with game settings.
Checked Events, nothing leading up to crash event. (1 warning, 3 error after)
Tried to monitor temps. GPU temps seemed ok. (below 60 when crash) I had all fans maxed. When successfully running Division, temps never went over 70.
Ran Prime95 for a few minutes. max CPU temps were 48.

My System: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/kamil333s/builds/#view=qBM8TW
No overclocking yet.
Dual boot Linux/Win10

EDIT: New info: Tested a few time with Furmark and it crashed as well. No correlation to heat. crashes at 59, 60, 45 degrees

EDIT: Tested in Linux with GpuTest 0.5.0. Most passed with temps below 60. Crashed on full screen Volplosion.

TIA!

 
Solution
First thing, try a clean Windows setup (spare drive is good to use here so you don't mess with your current setup for a test), if it crashes there, you are looking at testing hardware, swap RAM or try one stick at a time, test the video card in another system, test another card in yours with the same power load, if that is OK, try a different power supply.
