I also thing your GPU is defective. Using the Intel HD2000 graphics may cause some freezes and lags, even crashes, it wasn't meant for much gaming. It is hand to use for trouble shooting though.

Then how am I supposed to test it for GPU issues if it crashes on games either way?
@Arc: I'll do that and try again.
I have had now completely removed the Nvidia driver. Though when I went back on it was like "Nvidia GTX 460 ready for use"... I will try to play the same game that crashed me beforehand on the IGPU. If it fails I'll generate another full dump log thing.
Onboard graphics is not for gaming actually. It is to use when the GPU is not stable, or with non- gaming computers.
From the instances, I strongly guess that the GPU is failing; but Britton30 will guide you better at that.
You can try the GPU card to see if it causes lags or crashes without gaming for a couple of days. Viewing videos is a good way to put some lower type stress on it or the Intel graphics.
Ok.
I am on my GPU now. I actually did game today. No game crashed me up. When I attempted to play Dear Esther it worked fine. At a moment, the game began lagging the hell out, the next second it was fine. Eventually alt+f4'd because I didn't want to have another GPU crash, though it would be the only game that actually lagged before anything happened, and I did let it lag for 1 minute. I am going to keep my gaming on low. Even if it crashed before on Little Inferno (which works just fine on the IGPU), the IGPU was the one that crashed on Awesomenauts (the crash log which I posted before), playing Awesomenauts now on the GPU works perfectly. Lagless, crashless. Also played Capsized, it didn't crash on the IGPU but lagged a lot (understandable).
This is weird, but I suppose it is the GPU failing then.... Thanks for your help, will try to avoid crash-causing games for some time and see if anything later on.
But just as a question, by any chance would underclocking my card help, in theory?
I'm not a GPU clocking person, but I would think running on default speed or a bit under could improve things. Look for a new GPU in your future.
