After about 30 seconds or a little more of gameplay, my PC freezes up with a pixelated screen and will sometimes, but not all the time, restart the PC. I believe my PC is probably running hot, but I can't pin point why or if this is the reason why my PC is freezing. Here are some troubleshooting solutions I tried, but failed. Specs are listed below. Thank you for any advice.

Reverted back to older nVidia drivers with a clean OS reinstall.
Dusted off all of the components. It was never really dusty to begin with.
All fans spin and fan speed will increase during load.
Removed all the panels for better cooling.
Tried all of the motherboard and included software so called "performance" settings.
Clean OS install after clean install.
