Every game crashes

[LeVsKaR]

Hello there,
recently I noticed, that every game I start crashes after a while, however, no error message is being displayed, and the game just closes and goes to the desktop which becomes all black(probably crashing windows explorer, because when I restart the process, the desktop returns to normal).
Games in which I have tried running since are:
Call of Duty Black Ops III
Assassin's Creed Syndicate
FIFA 15
League of Legends
Each game crashes at a specific moment
Cod BO3 crashes either right at the beginning at the treyarch logo, or when I click to resume game and it should start loading the level
ACS crashes after level has finished loading(that space when one can just run in every direction)
LoL crashes after loading screen
FIFA either doesn't load at all or crashes at the skill games which are before a match. Strangely, there are times when the game works normal, and there are times when it just crashes.
My build is as follows:
CPU: i7 4770
GPU: EVGA GTX760
RAM: Kingston HyperX Genesis Gray
Storage: Samsung 840 evo 120GB and WD Red 1TB
PSU: CoolerMaster B700
I am pretty sure that this is not related to a storage fault as everything else works normally. Moreover, I tried playing the games on the integrated GPU, and I was able to play League there, while CoD told me that there was not enough memory to run the game(I suppose it was for video memory) and closed.
I do not think that it is due to a new update or software installation, as I do not recall seeing the error right after an update. My guess is that it may be a problem with the GPU or PSU.
Until now I have tried thoroughly uninstalling graphics driver and installing the latest, malware and virus scans which were negative, as well as trying to reset the BIOS.
As, obviously, none of my attempts until now have been successful I am kindly asking you to help me with this problem.
Many thanks in advance

Complex problem. I;d need teamviewer to figure it out in a timely fashion. If you're interested pm me the address and pw - i'm available for the next couple of hours.

The B700 is a typical Coolermaster low-quality PSU, although crashing at the exact same point (rather than after the same length of time) suggests software rather than hardware.

"crash after a while" suggests to me a thermal problem.
Take the side covers off your case and see if the behavior changes.
Double check to see that the graphics card fan is operating and clear of dust.

Of you have overclocked your GTX760, back off.

Your psu is iffy quality, it could possibly be starting to fail. If you can borrow a psu of good quality that is 500w or more, try to see if that fixes your problem.

EVGA has a good warranty, if your card is still under warranty, a RMA might be in order if you find no other problem.

Download and Run an OCCT CPU test for an hour. A window will open with a series of charts showing volt delivery over each volt line of your computer. Check for 'ripple' and volt problems.

CPU / prime 95 test was fine - temps normal (actually lower considering stock cooler)
GPU ran furmark without issues - temp was fine

Game crashes after a few seconds - makes me believe its a software issue (drivers went through a clean uninstall)

Recommended normal startup through msconfig and psu test (furmark + p95 at the same time)

Well, with the help of emdea22(the kind person with the second answer in the thread) we reached the conclusion it is not in any way connected to heat issues, and I cleaned my pc from dust today. The GPU is not overclocked so that can't be it.
The PSU isn't of great quality but it still has almost 3 years left from its warrany so that shouldn't be it. Moreover it handles FurMark and prime95 running simultaneously.

Hope you get this fixed. I know how annoying it can be - especially this time of the year.

 

[geofelt]

It is bothersome that the issue happens with multiple games.
That kind of rules out game patches as an issue.

Have you checked all power connections?
Perhaps one of the graphics card pcie leads has become worn or lost connectivity.
Try switching the leads to different ones on your psu.

The more I troubleshoot, the stranger it gets - with hardware monitor I decided to check the values that the GPU shows right before crashing - in CoD memory was at 71%, in LoL at 20% and in AC at 99%(this time I managed to get some 10 secs of actual playtime, no idea how) and I suppose that those stats rule ot memory as a factor. Power shouldn't be a problem either, as in CoD, AC and Furmark the gpu was running at 99% power

Where did you get all of your games? What version of Windows, and where did you get that?

 

[LeVsKaR]

I have a genuine windows 10 education from my school, and while some of my games are pirated, those were working without any problems previously, and I only found out they were malfunctioning after I noticed the crashes in Fifa(which is pirated). To update on what's running and what's not - Fifa is atm running without problems(after a clean boot) but AC and CoD both aren't; LoL is also running fine, as are Hearthstone and Unreal Tournament 4 pre-alpha.

Hmmm, I'd remove all the pirated software, re-install everything else cleanly, and try it. We cannot provide any support for pirated software, and who knows how "clean" it was; you could have an infection.

 

[LeVsKaR]

Well, currently all the non-pirated games are working and I remembered that before windows 10 was released microsoft had a statement of sorts that win10 will have some kind of defence against pirated software and that it wouldn't run or something like that. What I will try is as you said - removing all excess software and pirated games and try then.
P.S. I just tested Fallout as well(also pirated but don't judge me, I actually almost don't play these games as I don't enjoy them as much and that is why I have not bought them) and it ran without problems. Tomorrow I will try the software cleanup and reinstalling the games and will update you on the situation.

Per forum rules regarding pirated software, I really think we're done here. Good luck.
