My GTX 780 keeps failing when I try to run games (after about 15-20 minutes). It started when I turned kboost on using EVGA PrecisionX 16 - my PC instantly crashed and restarted. I couldn't get to the desktop without receiving a BSOD so I had to run safe mode and uninstall Precision. After removing the program I could launch the desktop but everytime I started a game (starcraft 2 in this case) I would receive a BSOD after anywhere from 10-30 minutes of playing. I went into safe mode and uninstalled my Nvidia drivers and then reinstalled them. Now my PC doesn't crash when I play a game but after 10 minutes or so the application stops running (this happened with civilization beyond earth and shadow of mordor). I have to open task manager and manually end the application. The dump file from when I got the BSOD before uninstalling/reinstalling the video drivers can be found here: 
 
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

    Have you tried to verify the integrity of your games? If not, try it. Link
     
    It may be all you need to do to correct the application hang.

    K-Boost needs to be disabled when installing/uninstalling the graphics driver and when enabling SLI.
    install EVGA PrecisionX 16 again and turn off Kboost. start pc new.test your pc.
    if it is ok uninstall PrecisionX 16. make a new (Advanced) installation from your nvidia drivers.works for me.
