when I run any of my games they crash. A blank screen will happen or just freeze on the current frame in game. It says that it could be a thermal issue but it has not had this problem before.
I have tried updating drivers. downclocking and giving it a blast with compressed air.
I have a print out from whocrashed:

Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. A third party driver has been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:
nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 358.91 , NVIDIA Corporation)
If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination with the errors that have been reported for these drivers. Include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions on the web by users who have been experiencing similar problems.
Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.
Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.
