I have located the problem to either be caused by iastor.sys or iastorv.sys to be causing a memory leak which causes crashes to most games such as rust and gta v. It also causes my computer to get a blue screen failure which i guess is due to memory failure. I haven't installed new RAM for over a year and I cant think of any programs casuing the issue. I have ran a windows resource protection scan which has located corrupt drivers but the log doesnt make much sense to me and its too large to upload anywhere.

looks like you have a current version of the driver, your machine might need a custom version that would be supplied with your motherboard drivers on the motherboard vendor website.

Intel® Matrix Storage Manager Sata RAID Controller driver for Windows.
so I guess your bios setting is set to be running in a RAID mode. check your motherboard drivers and see if you can roll back the driver to that version. Since it is a SATA driver you should make sure your BIOS version is up to date with the driver version.
(in case you BIOS or raid firmware was not updated)

iaStorV.sys is a very old version of Intel matrix storage manager which is now called intel rapid storage technology.
I would go to the Intel website and have it scan your machine and see if it can find a updated driver for you.

I would check to see if your motherboard vendor has a updated driver.
Start cmd.exe as an admin then run
CD c:\
Dir /s iaStorV.sys
This should tell you the date of the driver you have installed.
