Now to the problem..
I've been having this problem for a very very long time so far, and it is overall a hit and miss scenario. Sometimes my GPU will just stop and sometimes it wont when gaming. Before my GPU, during gaming takes a huge dump a few things occur first: Sounds in my game, or anywhere you will hear clicking in the sound (clicking being the sound 'flickers' or something), next video begins to slowly lag upon these flickers. When the GPU is ready and call it a day the geometry/world geometry in games would begin to flicker and change about, sometimes the world flickers entirely. I had one instance where I was playing TF2 and when looking around my gpu freezes, I was able to still look around for a split second but noticed a window didn't move with everything else. Recently I've played Dead by daylight and then when my gpu broke I saw the characters really deform and hilarious looking, almost something out of Garry's Mod.
After the crash occurs I get greeted by the kernel failing on my gpu and having to restart. If I keep gaming the problem persists and it will keep crashing until the gpu begins to slow down my computer entirely, so I just restart my computer and 6/8 times I run everything happy gilmore.
My temps don't seem absurd when these crashes occur, they are about at 70-90c when under load.
I bought a PSU tester and everything was green and lit up and all the voltages and rails were right on par with its specifications.
Today [7/6/16] when playing overwatch my game was just lagging so horribly with geometry flickering until my gpu gave up and the image froze, but the sound didn't really freeze..from there my computer just simply shut down and restarted...first time it's done that ever. I restarted my computer and everything seems to run okay for the time being.
When playing low gpu intensive it wouldn't ever crash unless its TF2. Gmod runs well without any issues for long periods of time.
I recently bought a GTX 960 and it will arrive on 7/12/2016 as I'm thinking my GPU is faulty...but is it really? Does my GTX 660 met its match and should be put down? Could I RMA it for a new one then resell it?
I could use some help on this. Thanks.
EDIT: Forgot one more thing. I checked my Memory.dmp for when my gpu shut off my computer and it showed this:

EDIT2: Also I've reinstalled drivers more than a million times, even during safe mode. I've used a program to remove drivers completely and clean it out of my system but no dice.
