New PC keeps crashing

Hi Folks, I've had a few questions here before regarding the construction of my new gaming pc, and i've come with another one.

My pc, when gaming runs buttery smooth with every game i throw at it. It's great. HOWEVER, with almost every game, i keep running into crashing issues out of nowhere. For exapmle, when I play Killing Floor 2, the game just crashes at random during the first match, and i'm redirected to the bugsplat screen. On cities Skylines, I get a "cities.exe has stopped working" error and disconnected. The same goes for Fallout 4. But in spite of all this, Ark: Survival Evolved runs gorgeously and through 5 hours of gametime, it has crashed only once.

My CPU temperatures, while playing KF2, for example sit at ~30 degrees (I have liquid cooling). And the usage is very low still. So I don't quite understand why these crashes keep happening!
 


I will check that and get back to you. It shouldn't be crashing though due to high graphical settings. My CPU is an i7-6700k at stock speeds, and a R9 390x GPU
