Games keep crashing

[kingmongoose]

Hi *Wasn't sure what category to put this under*
All of my pc games have started crashing. Sometimes it'll be after a few minutes of opening the game, others it will be an hour into it.
I tried to benchmark my games and see if there was some kind of bottleneck or temps were getting too high, but while benchmarking GTA V this didn't seem to be the case.
GPU: 32C, 21%
FPS: 60.1
CPU: 61C, 50%
RAM: 6280MB

Specs:
i5 2320
GTX 1060 6gb
8gb ram
Corsair CX600M

Not too sure what the issue is. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

First test your drive that the games are on. Use HDTune and scan for errors.

Check that your windows has the latest service packs. If your using steam verify game integraty.

Define crashing: crashing to desktop, freezing requiring restart, BSOD, something else?
Any artifacts on display when/before crashing?
Any hardware/software changes made just before it started crashing? Anything unusual happening before is started?

those game crash does they give blue screen and if yes give us the code .

Sorry for not explaining myself. By crashing I meant that the game would freeze, but sound would keep playing usually, and the game would have to be force closed, although this sometimes didnt work and would require a hard reset.
Results on HD Tune error scan show no errors. When benchmarking my drive, there did seem to be a lot of dips in performance, not sure if this is normal or not. http://prntscr.com/f3bpa2
Currently verifying game integrity.

Verified game integrity for all my games, all finished without a problem.

No artifacts before crashing, the game will just freeze with sound continuing to play. I've made no changes to my hardware recently, the same for software besides driver updates.

1) Does your RAM usage reach 7.5GB or more when the freeze occurs?
2) How much voltage is your GPU getting before/when freezing? You may monitor that with MSI Afterburner for instance.
3) Did you try reinstalling the graphics driver?

The crashing doesn't seem to be caused by RAM, as I crashed in GTA using 6280MB as said above, but sometimes it'd happen even during rocket league which uses so much less.
I'll try and monitor voltage in my GPU when I'm playing a game, don't have much time during the week.
Not too sure on how to uninstall graphics drivers. Do I just uninstall everything Nvidia and then reinstall ?
Thanks

Well, first make sure that your drivers are actually up to date, just in case. If having the latest doesn't help then yes, just go ahead and uninstall the components one by one. Make sure you have the driver installer from nvidia.com ready. W10 will try to install it for you on its own nonetheless once it realizes it's gone but chances it won't be the latest version, so just go on with the manual installation. Once there, select custom installation instead of express installation when prompted, and tick "perform clean installation", this might help as well.

use seagate seatools to test your hdd and if you remove gpu from system and use internnal video do you have a crash .
