Do you have a pagefile on the [C] drive, and what size is it ?
A crashdump requires a pagefile on [C].

What is the exact site you are getting your games from?
Do you use any cleaners, tuneup or registry programs?
I noticed you have IOBit Advanced System Care. It can cause more problems that one can count.
Please try this:
1. Configure Windows to create (Small Memory Dumps) minidumps:
Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD
2. Set the paging file on C: to be the same size as the physically installed RAM:
Virtual Memory Paging File - Change
3. Set the Windows Error Reporting service to MANUAL:
Services - Start or Disable

4. Test to see that dump files are created:
- Open Windows Task Manager
- Navigate to the Processes tab
- Right-click on explorer.exe, and click Create Dump File

- Note the location of the saved file
- Check that location and confirm that explorer.dmp exists

That's a lot of RAM. Did I miss where you tested it with Memtest 6-8 passes or overnight?
Then the other remaining steps in Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7
Ok Tuckny lets go to a bit of basics and read my ditty and post back what you find
Using HW Info
PART A:
You can test the volts on the PSU with HW Info HWiNFO, HWiNFO32/64 - Download < download the right bit version and close the right hand window select Sensors and scroll down to the power section where you will see what the volts are doing see my pic. In my pic the section (Nuvoton) with VBATT or Vbatt is a dead give away you are in the section for the rail voltages. There are other section titles and one that pops up often is ITE
Now the voltage on the different rails have to be within 5% =+/- of what is required or the machine will not work properly if at all.
See this for the rail voltage info
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-specifications-atx-reference,3061.html (Section 2.)
The original right hand window shows the machine running and is handy for that but for looking at the components in some detail close it and use the main left hand side panel
FOR OTHER COMPONENTS
PART B:
Open each small square with + in it on the section the components are in and then click on the individual component/s (it will highlight in blue) - in the right hand side will appear all sorts of details including brands speeds and other essential info that particular device. See pic for example.
Ok hmmm, I am currently doing ram tests, so far so good, I uninstalled iobit and so far the computer didn't crash. Although I have to say I didn't use it as much as normally.
Here's a screenshot of the program but i'm not too sure what you want me to do.
Often times when tweaking suites are used on such a featherlight OS that doesn't much tolerate them, the damage is already done even if uninstalled. We see this time and again. So if you don't have a system restore point or image to get before IoBit then I'd strongly consider doing a Clean Reinstall Windows 7 and this time stick with the tools and methods which have proven to work best with Win7.

PSU checks out at least that is one less possible issue.:)
PS Meant o mention as Greg said about Iobits a lot of crap in my own view are there any remnants in the registry?? - HKEYS / LOCAL MACHINE -CURRENT USER > software listings
I see there is a dedicated uninstaller but I don't rely on them myself and always check the HKEYS
IObit Uninstaller, Uninstall Tool, Advanced Uninstaller - IObit
Maybe i missed your answers, but do you have a pagefile on [C] configured as previously suggested ?
