Make sure you have all the latest drivers for all your hardware, and maybe even consider flashing your BIOS to the latest version. Also make sure you have your games patched. And just to be sure, check that your CPU isnt overheating by going into the BIOS.

Oh yah, does it crash on you even if you have normal setting applies to the games?

Try max everything except resolution. Some of those high resolutions are kinda ridiculous, stick to 1024x768 or 1 step higher. Often some of those super high resolutions are there for "Stress tests" and other diagnostics. IMO if the resolution was too high, it would be causing problems.
