So it started two days ago when cleaning my PC files due to some Premiere issues. That was fixed.
I had downloaded some program similar to CCleaner and don't remember it because I uninstalled it yesterday. So what happens when I start the launcher, it's fine. The second I hit play for the games, my PC freezes and I can't do anything (tried) but hit the power button. So of course I now get kernel-system 41 errors - checked there too.
So I've narrowed it down........
I can play Steam games with mega graphics so it's not the new card I have and it's not the mobo.
The three games I can't launch are ones with actual launchers.
Planetside 2 - Daybreak Launcher
Overwatch - Battlenet Launcher
Battlefield 1/4 - Origin Launcher
What I have tried:
Uninstalled and reinstalled all three games/launchers.
Made sure they were on compatibility.
I've shut down the firewall. Nope.
Removed Avast. Nope.
Installed Comodo. Nope.
Three recovery dates. Nope.
CCleaner. Cleaned.
Memory Test. Nope.
I have tried these as suggested:

Also check that you have the latest drivers for your video card.
One thing I did notice when downloading - the games took longer than normal and on two of them, the modem took a dump. I have done a speed test and it appears fine.
I have a new card as of November. My system:
