I built this PC around 3 years ago, and the PC was just fine, but from 2 weeks to now I couldnt solve my problem, that is wheneaver I am playing any game, the game will just freeze and close it self, with no notifications or anything. My specs are:
I5 3570K (3.4ghz)
NVIDIA GTX 670 founders edition
ASUS P8Z77-M
2x 4gb DDR3 RAM
Corsair TX850
Seagate barracuda 1000gb
Windows 10 pro 64 bits
I have all drivers updated to the latest version, and the temperature never goes too hot (around 50-60 celsius degrees)
Can it be a hardware error or just a software problem? Any help is appreciated.
(I do not overclock any of my hardware)

Time to start eliminating software drivers and programs that run with Win. Did you do the above items I recommended?
Disable or uninstall items that are in the TRAY first. Then work on stuff you run while gaming. Try to get down to as bare a system as possible. Almost as if you were running in safe mode but w/o background pgms running too.

If the problem goes away, then add back the items you eliminated one by one and see which is the culprit.

Try running CCleaner first. That will eliminate lots of software conflicts and registry errors. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
Then check if there is a lot of software loading itself at boot. Check your tray for stuff you can disable or only run on an as-need basis.
Try cleaning up gfx drivers by uninstalling any Nvidia and AMD gfx from safe mode with DDU: http://www.wagnardsoft.com/ Follow up with a clean install of the latest driver.
Finally, run a full virus scan and follow that with a run of Malwarebytes to verify you don't have any malware causing issues. https://www.malwarebytes.com/

Just got a blue screen:
On Sat 08/04/2017 13:00:39 your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\040817-20359-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x14E7C0)
Bugcheck code: 0x3B (0xC0000096, 0xFFFFF8007961F7BF, 0xFFFFD60130AE1D80, 0x0)
Error: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

Thank you so much! I found out that was a Windows instalation problem combined with a misreading temperature program. While the program was telling me the temp was around 60 celsius it was actually at 90. I will re apply the termal paste and re-instal windows. Again, thank you so much!(sorry for my english)
