Random crashes

Howdy folks, was looking for a bit of help on this one...

I'm gaming on the rig listed below and recently began running into random crashes while playing Starcraft 2 and BF4. Games will be running fine then screen goes black or white and nothing. The sound garbles and quits at the same time. I then have to manually reboot with the power button cause the system is totally locked up. Guessing its a hardware problem, any guesses where to start looking? System seems stable for browsing etc...I check temps when gaming and nothing seems high

I recently upgraded nvidia drivers which may just be a coincidence....any thoughts?

Just in case, can you provide screenshots of CPU-ID HWMonitor at idle and load please? Since it is crashing when gaming, load can be after gaming for 5-10 minutes. Looking for temperatures and voltages.

Can you also try uninstalling the nVidia drivers and revert back to the previous drivers, then game for a while and see?

Have you made any other recent changes? Is the system overclocked? Do you have the latest bios installed for the motherboard? Can you provide system specs; cpu, mb, video, memory, PSU?
