When I play games, my games jump out unexpectedly or encounter blue screen some time, no matter what games I play, same situation will occur (such as GTA V, AOE 2 HD, The Sims 3, L4D, etc)

The error code I found when blue screen is: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
My display card: ASUS GTX660 DC2O-2GD5
Operation system: Windows 10
RAM: 8GB

Recently I found white dots on the skin of all the characters in GTA too, I have been thinking if there is problem on my display card or it's overheating, I checked the temperature of my GPU, it's around 50-60°C when the game is running.

However, when I turned my computer on 3 days ago, "A disk read error occurred” error on the startup. My windows was installed in SSD and games were installed in HDD, so I tried to unplug the SATA cable on my HDD, but still not working, then I re-plug the cable on my SDD, it works normal again, but then when I plug back my HDD and launch GTA, it took ages to load into the game and the graphic on the map was broken. I tried restarting windows, I have to wait like 1-2 mins to load into the windows (normally it only takes like 10-15 secs). So I tried to change the SATA cable on my HDD, windows and game are running normal again, but the blue screen and white dots problem are still here.

I've also follow the tutorial online to check whether there is disk error and even uninstall and reinstall the graphic drive but nothing is found or fixed.

So I'm wondering what may cause the problem of the above, graphic card, ram, hard drive, power supply???

Thanks!
 
Solution
might be your hard drive on its way out had it do the same issue in a few diffrent set ups before the pcs & laptops would crash & wouldn't boot coz of failing harddrives on 10

the blue screen is usually happen because memory dumping.
if you use 2 module ram try to switch between one socket to another, but if you only using single module ram just try to put into different socket.
