PC keeps crashing during gaming when reaching a certain temp threshold

[DaFunk]

Hi, so basically when I start up a game it runs fine for a while, until my temps reach around 70 C for the GPU and 50 C for the CPU. By then it varies from game to game whether it crashes to a blue screen(see minidump below) or just to the desktop. The games during which the temps stay below 60 degrees run fine(at least for 2 hours as far as I can tell)

However, these temps are well below the maxium allowed temperature for those parts, so I wonder what could be the cause. I already tested the CPU, RAM, HDD and GPU but those came through without any issues.

Here are my specs:

CPU: i5-4460

GPU: R9 280X MSI 3GB

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x4GB

PSU: Spire Black Eagle/Black Dragon(either one of those, couldn't remember and also wattage is
fine)

HDD: Western Digital WD10EZEX-00BN5A0 1TB

Mobo: Asrock h81m-hds r2.0

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

create a more aggressive fan profile in msi afterburner

Hi neon, thank you for your reply.

I suppose making the fans spin harder could work, but wouldn't this be bad for the longetivity of the GPU? Also, would there be a way to set up the fans to spin harder for certain games only?

suppose it could lessen the life of the fan but i always use em and i think my vid card is on year 4 with no problems. just keep the thing clean, blow out the dust. fans are replaceable anyway.
