so when im playing games such as (csgo,battlefield 1, or even borderlands 2)my computer blue screens after playing for about 30minutes to an hour depending on how long my computer has been on. I thought maybe my cpu was overheating so i bought a new heatsink for my cpu (when im not playing a game i get 25°C and when a am i get around 40°C depending on the game)still didnt fix it. It cant be the hardrive because i just replaced my old one. I upgraded my GPU from a Radeon 7700 series to a GTX Geforce 1060 and still no help. So im thinking its either my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H) or my CPU (i5-3570k 3.40GHz) Thanks for any feedback!

Specs:
CPU+CPU cooler: i5-3570k 3.40GHz & DeepCool 12cm Fan CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H
Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB
HDD: ST31000528AS ATA Device (i think thats right)
GPU: Asus GTX Geforce Dual 1060 3GB
PSU: COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M700
OS: Windows 7 64bit
Chassis: Cooler Master RC-942-KKN1 HAF X Chassis Full Tower Case, Black

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, please list your full system's specs as:
CPU+CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD;
GPU:
PSU:
OS:
Chassis:

It reads out like your PSU is the culprit if the system gives out after getting into a load scenario. It would be worth noting if you're on the latest BIOS while all your drivers are up to date(considering you changed from an AMD card to an Nvidia card.
