For the past few months, my computer has been beginning to have a large issue when I game. After a random amount of time (Depending on the game too), the game would crash immediately. Witcher 3, Overwatch, SMITE, Evolve, etc. I'm unsure whether it's the temperature, but I don't have much knowledge on hardware. Here are my specs:

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20 GHz
8.00 GB RAM
1920x1080 Monitor
2TB Hard Drive
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

I'm beginning to worry if it's my graphics card that's acting faulty, since I can't afford to replace it or purchase a new one. I've checked for viruses, updated my drivers. All I can think of that may have something to do with the crashing is that I uninstalled Norton 360 on my computer, due to it limiting my files on my computer and occasionally slowing down my computer. Please help and I will try to respond with as much information as I can, thank you.

Okay since I'm getting no replies, I've been fixing this myself, and the only reason to why I think I'm getting crashes is due to RAM usage and pagefile usage. Whenever I'm running a game, programs would say my RAM usage would be increasing faster until my game immediately crashes. Maybe I just need more RAM, even though I already have 8GB worth of RAM, but who knows.
