So this is my rig, GTX 970 . I7-4790K, 8gb RAM, GTX h100i watercooling. MAXIMUS RANGER VII. I did a memtest got 8 passes and 0 errors, The tempatures for both my GPU and CPU are a bit high but nothing special. but yet everytime I try to run a game, it rusn for a few minutes and then I get a bluescreen the code is different everytime so I have no idea what to do. I myself am not the smartest when it comes to PC's so I have no idea what to do now.

If you guys need more information please say so!
Thanks in advance

Does it happen with one specific game or it is like that with all games?

It might be a problem with cooling. Is either not efficient enough when intensive tasks are happening(gaming), not installed properly or you might have messed up some settings.

I'd leave case opened for 2 -3 hours while gaming. If it's not bluescrrening any more you will need review your cooling system.

I'd also try to reinstall GPU driver.
have you overclocked anything?

run Prime95 for 30 minutes and see if it falls over (keep an eye on temps)

then run Unigine Heaven on max settings full screen for 20 minutes.

whichever one crashes will help to identify if this is CPU or GPU problem.

No overclocks, temps with prime 95 around 80 Celcius doing the Unigine Heaven thing now. Just updated my BIOS and no bluescreens for about 30 minutes now. I'm hopefull
