Games Keep Crashing and I don't know why
First time posting here so forgive me if what I say is confusing. Recently (withing the last month or so) the pc games that I play (GTA 4, Champions Online, Just Cause 2, Payday 2) will crash to windows 7. A couple times however it has resulted in BSOD. I have monitered CPU and GPU temperatures while playing these games and the cpu stays around 38-40C, and the GPU hovers between 55-60C. Nothing is being overclocked, it is all at factory settings. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the graphics driver to no avail, and I have checked all other drivers to make sure they are up to date. I guess I just don't know where to look next. Any advice would help. Below is the analysis from WhoCrashed, hopefully it will shed some light.

Bug check description: This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.
