Ive been trying to play games Like Player unknown battlegrounds and rust but my computer wont play them anymore, I can start the game and sometimes get to the settings but most of the time as soon as it starts to load into the menu it crashes the computer. However from a previous test when i take my granfathers really old graphics card and put it into my system it functions fine for low graphics games but of course it wont run those high end games i currently run a gtx 1070 an upgrade from my 970. The 970 broke so i sent it in and they gave me a 1070 but for some reason its still crashing depening on the day somtimes it will run for 5 minutes or 5 seconds. however the computer can idle fine sometimes but other times even idling crashes it PLEASE HELP I WANT TO PLAY MY GAMES!!!!!


PC specs are intel Core i5 4690k
Asus z97-a motherboard
Cruical 8 gb ddr3 ram
EVGA gtx 1070
and a EVGA supernova 750w gold PSU (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438017)

I said to use DDU and it has the option for safe mode. Also you ignored almost all that I wrote. It doesn't matter if YOU think that temps are fine, you should provide that info and we can afterwards conclude if it's considered fine or not.
I want to help, if you don't want to answer my questions that's fine but you won't get a solution


I have updated the information
 
Temperatures would be the first thing to check .
Player unknown battlegrounds ,first time i played it with a friend we made it down to the river at the bottom where my friend had the idea "we can swim it " needless to say we were ran over with a speedboat. I told him we can take the bridge !
 
Ok, bare with me, there are a lot of things to check and answer.
What windows are you using? If it's windows 10, was it an upgrade or a clean install?
Have you used DDU? If not please run in safe mode and reinstall.
Does the problem occurs with every game?
Have you scanned for virus/malware?
Check your temps idle and while gaming both for CPU and GPU with MSI afterburner.
