My games keep crashing even though I have very good specs

Hello to anybody reading this. I bought my PC a while back in January, and I have had some problems since day one. I'm a big gamer and every time I attempt to play games they work for a awhile back then crash or freeze and require a restart. I play rust and it sometimes randomly crashes. I also play CSGO and I get to play for about 10-30 mins before my screen freezes. Even though my screen freezes I can still hear the audio in the background.

Here are my computer specs:

Go to Control Panel > Device Manager > Display Adapter . Right click on driver and choose Update. See if things improve. Good specs does not mean you won't crash, you need correct and up to date drivers.
my drivers are up to date
Have you tried going to the GPU vendor site, enter your GPU model and download their drivers. Sometimes they are better than what MS provides.
Have you tested your ram?
What are your temps and voltages; specifically cpu temp, 12V, 5V, and 3.3V values?
Here is a link to the support page for your motherboard. Download and install the monitoring utility [dragon center] Once done post the info twice. Once under a normal load and again while running a stress test. Use any of the following for the stress test; prime95, OCCT, or Realbench. Let the stress test run for at least 2min to stabilize temps/voltages.

I never use msi boards in any build so I am not familiar with the software however most monitoring software from board mfg is also overclocking software. Do not make any changes; just use the monitor part. Post secreenshots of each instance ie normal and stress test.
You haven't mentioned it, but what is the make and model of your power supply. Also, what are the temps in your system (especially the CPU and GPU.)

Finally, use reference drivers. Those are the drivers supplied by Nvidia. You can get them from www.nvidia.com.

Agreed, PSU info would be very useful as it is an often overlooked but critical component. If this is happening in all games the PSU could be the issue as the GPU is one of the biggest power draws in the system.
