Okay so I caved and reinstalled Windows/updated and reinstalled games/programs. Although my efforts still seem futile.
It would seem the issue has shifted from the computer just straight failing on me (which is good, not requiring manual restart) to just giving me appcrash messages for games that fault out (which is still equally as annoying).
The crashes mentioned below are post-BIOS update/Windows reinstall & updating etc. (as to answer your previous question)
I attached the 2 appcrash messages for Kerbal Space Program and GTA 4 as those are the only 2 I have tested thus far. Again, the crash is random. I played KSP for maybe 20 minutes before it crashed and GTA IV for under a hour (even left to go somewhere and left the game paused only to come back and sit down then the game crash as I pick my controller back up).
I also am attaching a screenshot of the temps and gpu load my computer was at during the crash on GTA 4. Temps/load were almost identical for both games so I figured id just upload one. I noticed voltages from the board on the low side but looking in my BIOS, the voltages are right about their normal operational levels, maybe .010 off or so but nothing I would raise alarm to.
While the format in which the games crash has not triggered any need to manual restart since my Windows reinstall, it still boggles my mind that even on a fresh slate, problems still arise.
At any rate, I appreciate you still hanging around.
Edit: wanted to add that while the load in Kombustor says 0 at the time of the fault, the load was around 40-50% (cant remember specifics)
