PC Games Keep Crashing Help!!

Computer:

Intel i5-3570k
ASUS GTX 680 DirectCU II TOP
Samsung 500GB SSD
Corsair AX860 PSU
Seagate 1TB HDD

Okay so whenever I play games as of recently, they always crash to desktop. It may be important to know that in December I installed a Samsung 500GB SSD, performed a fresh windows 7 install and began using my new ssd. I kept all of my old files on my old hard drive for awhile while I was using the new ssd. All seemed well until my games randomly started crashing. I first noticed it happening with CS:GO, but eventually after playing other games I realized it wasn't just a problem with counter strike. Games such as H1Z1 would crash as well (both not very taxing games). In an attempt to fix the crashes, I wiped all of the files off my old drive, and began just using it as a data drive for games, programs, etc. I began playing counter strike again and experienced no crashing so I thought it had fixed my problem... until I just started playing the new Havoc DLC for Advanced Warfare and crashed twice to the desktop midway through. I have tried everything and I have no idea what to do... PLEASE HELP!

Have you tried reinstalling your GPU drivers? Try completely uninstalling then reinstalling them.
Also, what sort of crash are you getting? Do you get any sort of error(s), or a BSOD, or does it just crash to desktop without any indication of why?

I have only crashed to BSOD once because of it with a MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION error, but 90% of the time, it will just crash to the desktop without any indication other than "So and so has stopped working" I am going to try and reinstall my drivers now

I uninstalled my drivers, did a clean up of the leftover files, and installed the drivers. Still crashing. I am going to update all of my drivers on my computer and see if that helps.

Do you know what sort of temps you're getting while you're in-game? Could be that the GPU is overheating. Also try running prime95 to see if it's something other than the GPU.

Playing H1Z1, GPU temps don't go above 47 degrees C with my fan on it running harder than it normally does. Nothing else seems to be getting abnormally hot. My CPU might have been getting a little at at around 60 degrees C. I crashed about 10 minutes into playing.

Only other thing I could think of to try would be to run memtest - could possibly be bad RAM
