I've had the problem for a few months now and I have absolutely no idea what could be producing the issue. My PC will randomly crash while playing certain games - and as you can imagine it's extremely aggravating. I have recently done a routine cleaning inside my case removing dust and checking to make sure all wires are plugged in tight. I also reset my PC and reinstalled a fresh copy of Win10. As of right now the only games I can play consistently without crashing is Rainbow Six: Siege and Hearthstone. Battlefield 1 and Overwatch will occasionally let me play. Most of the games that I can launch before my PC restarts will usually be fine until I join a match or server; another odd problem in itself. With CS:GO I generally don't have an issue joining a random community server, but when I queue for matchmaking and find a game there I WILL crash within a few minutes. Rust is fine when sitting at the home screen but as soon as I join a server it will restart, as in the very millisecond I actually enter the server I will instantly be kicked out of it. I know I connect to the server because I have friends who have seen that the server will address me entering, but will instantly leave.

Here's a small list of games that I've tried to launch/play but failed miserably:

Counter Strike: Global Offensive
Rust
H1Z1 King of the Kill
Left 4 Dead 2

My PC Parts List:

CPU - Intel i7 4790k OC @4.6Ghz
CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i V2
RAM - Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (4x4) @1600 Mhz
GPU - Asus STRIX GTX980
Motherboard - Asus Maximus VII Hero
PSU - Corsair HX 750W 80+Gold
HDD - WD Black 2TB
SSD - Samsung 850 Evo 250GB
Monitor - Asus VG248QE (2x)

I am not home currently so I can't check, but I'm fairly sure I have the most recent NVIDIA drivers installed.

EDIT: I am home and do have the most recent drivers installed (Version 376.33)

I tried 2 offline games (Sniper Elite 3 and Metro: Last Light Redux) and both games made my PC restart within a few minutes of starting. I tried running a less intensive game, Binding of Isaac and that ran without any issues. I also went to the first link you posted and downloaded and installed both Win10 LAN driver options.

Lets try rolling back your drivers abit, the latest ones you have it sounds unstable.

I rolled back my drivers all the way back to July and I still couldn't get them to work. (Version 369.09)

My GPU barely reaches or goes over 70C before my PC restarts.
