Question All My Games are Crashing.

From one day to the next, my PC has started crashing in just about all games I have tried with since noticing the issue today. I had no issues whatsoever as early as yesterday, and now all of the sudden this is happening. I get crashes to desktop and have even gotten a few BSODs. I recently updated to the latest NVIDIA graphics driver but it didn't seem to be the cause, at least, I didn't get errors for the first day or so running the new drivers, but here we are now. Below are my specs as well as the crash dump from my BSODs, as far as I've been able to gather, this is a nasty error but I got no clue where to start or what to do.

I hope this information is enough to help get to a solution, if not, do let me know if there's anything else you need!

Specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600x
16gb ram
RTX 2080

Going by some information I've found since posting:

Fixes I've tried:

- Running DDU and cleaned out and reinstalled my GPU Driver

Additional information:

- As far as I know, I am not overclocking anything

- Games still crash almost immediately

Maybe some other piece of software is conflicting with the games. Or some poorly written piece of malware. Have you run CCLeaner and done the Clean and Registry portions both?
Running a Malwarebytes scan should eliminate the possibility of the other thing. I presume you've already done a virus scan.
BSODs are sometimes caused by RAM faults. Might want to run Memtest on each stick of RAM individually for at least one full pass.

I was out most of the day but I've gone and done the things suggested.

CCcleaner came back with some registry errors which I fixed.
Malwarebytes scan detected nothing
Memtest also came back with 0 errors after 4 full passes.

My games are still crashing but some tech savy friends of mine are saying the problem might be related to my GPU, that the DRAM may be failing. Eitherway I'm having a tech savy friend coming over tomorrow to see if he can help me out.
