Ran a who crashed report which pointed at - nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 451.67 , NVIDIA Corporation)- As a likely issue. Searching for crash issues with that error brings a lot of results, most are irrelevant and the relevant forum posts don't end with resolution. 

These crashing issues started shortly after purchasing this prebuilt. At first I thought it was maybe a driver incompatibility issue but after dealing with this continual problem of crashing across several different games for months. All drivers have been updated and checked several times.

I'm not sure what to check next.

Welcome to WhoCrashed (HOME EDITION) v 6.65

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This program checks for drivers which have been crashing your computer. If your computer has displayed a blue (or black) screen of death, suddenly rebooted or shut down then this program might help you find the root cause of the problem and a solution. 

Whenever a computer suddenly reboots without displaying any notice or blue (or black) screen of death, the first thing that is often thought about is a hardware failure. In reality, on Windows a lot of system crashes are caused by malfunctioning device drivers and kernel modules. In case of a kernel error, many computers do not show a blue or black screen unless they are configured for this. Instead these systems suddenly reboot without any notice. 

This program will analyze your crash dumps with the single click of a button. It will tell you what drivers are likely to be responsible for crashing your computer. It will report a conclusion which offers suggestions on how to proceed in any situation while the analysis report will display internet links which will help you further troubleshoot any detected problems.

Greetings,

System is unstable, and it's likely due to the RAM. Please go into your BIOS and under the OC Tweaker tab lower the memory frequency from 3600 to 3200. Save and exit, then test the system normally and verify it's stable.
