Right, I need some help. Most games I have on Steam (I'd say 70%+) don't work on my PC. I mean, they either crash after 20 minutes or they crash on a loading screen before I get to do anything. Does anybody have any idea why? GTA IV had issues but I sorted that out and it runs perfectly now, Bioshock 2 runs for 20 minutes on full quality before it freezes and closes, CoD:BO2 and MW3 run for 15-20 minutes before crashing completely but my graphics card isn't overheating, my processor isn't having an issue and my PC is generating absolutely no heat at all. Other games work fine but there's a lot that don't. Burnout Paradise crashes on the loading scree before I get to do anything, Fallout 3 just fails completely but I know that has compatibility issues with Windows 7 and Windows 8 so i'm not fussed, Metro 2033 works absolutely fine on max settings, Skyrim runs fine, Hitman: Absolution runs perfectly fine. Then there's the games that run alone and aren't on Steam such as LoL & WoW, LoL has no issues at all, WoW has random crashes but not fatal errors so I have nothing to go off.
I've checked pretty much everything I can and changed whatever I can to fix the issues but nothing is working. Everything is updated fully, my GFX card has been updated fully and then rolled back to October and the problem persists even though the majority of crashes are GFX driver crash related, I've turned off my CPU Turbo because apparently that can be an issue with Bioshock 2, still crashed so I turned it back on, I've updated absolutely every piece of software and every plug-in that is required for any game, you know, the ones that just sit in the background. Nothing is working.
Basic Spec;
i5-3570 @ 3.4GHz
8GB RAM
GTX 660 Ti
Windows 8
Let me know if you can think of any solutions. There are some errors showing in Event Viewer, critical errors but I can't really see anything that might be the cause...
Issues I'm not quite sure about are with the following sources; Kernel-Power and DriverFrameworks-UserMode (The device MTP USB Device is offline due to a user-mode driver crash.)
Update from when I wrote this:
Windows is taking longer to load, Windows is constantly crashing to the point of where CTRL+ALT+DEL isn't working and I have to manually turn the PC off. Chkdsk shows no problems. Graphics Card benchmark shows no problems ( http://prntscr.com/1lmjh4 ).
Also, World of Warcraft is now crashing 4-5 times a minute, screen freezes for a few seconds and then goes back to the normal 160+ FPS.
Any idea what this could be?
