Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered error

[sketti]

Whenever playing CS:GO or Dark Souls 2 my monitor goes black and I get this message.
"Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered"

I have 344.48 drivers

Specs

Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Z87-DS3H
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.40GHz
GPU: 1023MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti (PNY)
Ram: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz
HD: 931GB ATA ST1000DM003-1CH1 SCSI Disk Device (SATA)

My PSU is 600W with no surge protection, and it would randomly turn off whenever I was playing.
I ignored this issue for months, and now I'm afraid that it might've fried my GPU or Motherboard.

I asked my brother about this issue and he said it might be RAM. I get normal temps, CPU is around 47C when playing and 34 when not playing anything. GPU temps are around 31C when playing.
