Recently while playing games they crash from either 2-5 minutes to 10-15 minutes. I Don't understand why it is happening as games used to run fine up until recently. The bluescreens change every time but the most recent ones are system_service_exception with ntfs.sys and win32kfull.sys as well as irql_not_less_or_equal. any help would be appreciated, thanks.
 
Solution
start cmd.exe or powershell as an admin and run
sfc.exe /scannow

if you have windows 8.1 or above run
dism.exe /online /clean-image /restorehealth

these commands will attempt to fix any corrupted windows components.
if corruption is found you should try to find the source of the corruption.
run Malwarebytes scan to check for malware.

you should provide the info on the bugcheck, the first parameter in the bugcheck is a error code and it can give a clue as to the likely cause of the problem.

remove any gpu and CPU overclocking drivers you have installed.

you might run memtest on its own boot image to confirm your memory timings are correct.
(generally the bugcheck error code will be 0xc0000005 when the memory timings are incorrect)...

other things you might do: update bios and motherboard drivers from the motherboard vendors website.
update the GPU driver from the graphic card vendors website.

generally with a 10 or 15 min to crash you would look for:
overheating: blow dust out of gpu, cpu and psu fans
remove any overclocking
scan for malware running on your GPU
monitior power and temps


ignore the ntfs.sys bugcheck it often is a secondary crash due to open files in the filesystem after a primary crash.
win32kfull.sys is often a target of malware, (that is why you should run the dism.exe command above)
irq bugcheck can be from data corruption passed to any driver. Most of the time a driver corrupts its own data but sometimes it can corrupt the data of the driver next to it in memory. only thing to do is update the motherboard drivers from the motherboard vendors website. it is very common for the motherboard audio driver to corrupt the gpu sound support driver. in most cases this was fixed around sept of 2017 so check for a update or disable any sound sources in control panel that do not have a speaker attached to them.
