I have tried everything I can think of and some solutions I have found on this website but the problem still persist. I start playing a game and its all fine and any where from 10 to 30 min the game will go black and I get the " " has stopped working message. I keep looking at event viewer but I don't know how to interpret it.

Heres an example:

If you have more then one RAM chip, test it on one stick at a time, check your temperatures while running games with HWMonitor. Make sure you have Windows updated. Is the game installed on a second drive? Looks like you have it on D instead of C, try running it off the same partition Windows is on. It does not really sound like a video card or power issue, but did you try a different video card? What power supply brand and model do you have?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. I have done a clean install of windows twice and I also stress tested the cpu, gpu, and ram. Nothing is over clocked I just wanted to see if I could spot faulty hardware but everything ran fine with no problems or hiccups.
