Help with newer build!
LNF

Built just over a month ago https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=2c2c6fae-f7c1-4c68-8760-60212a360be5 now games all crash shortly into gameplay. The fan used to run loud when this happened with Error: display driver failed to start, now fan noise seems normal even when crashing and no long receive error message. Updated/reinstalled graphic card drivers, has not fixed the problem. Toda0,y screen was blank when booting (restarting fixed this).

Greetings. I do see where you stated you did a reinstall of your video card drivers, but I would try a clean install using a third-party program known as DDU if you have not already and see if that helps. We have a step-by-step guide on that process found at: https://community.microcenter.com/discussion/2858/how-to-roll-back-or-clean-install-video-card-drivers-in-windows-10

We just did this with the link provided. Tried to load FN and it crashed during loading. Any other suggestions? Could there be a problem with the graphics card?

it's possible it could be a GPU issue, but it could be something else. We have an FAQ that covers some other common troubleshooting steps you can go over for crashing/BSOD issues:
https://community.microcenter.com/discussion/2994/windows-crash-blue-screen-of-death-frequently-asked-questions#latest
There's a few links in there for some other troubleshooting guides. Read through it and try some, see if anything helps or changes. At worst, you could do a clean reinstall of Windows on the machine and if it's still crashing after that, it's likely a hardware related problem.
One last thing to mention which I don't think is mentioned in that FAQ is if you've done any overclocking in your BIOS or enabled XMP, try disabling those settings and restoring the BIOS defaults. Overclocking can cause stability issues that result in your system crashing.
