Mostly it seems in GPU intensive games. If i play a game such as league its not as frequent maybe 1 every 10-20 times. Sometimes none.

Definitely sounds like some unstable gpu's. Report back when you can.

So i started with league and figured id try a more intensive game (Overwatch). It unfortunately crashed even while the card was underclocked. :(

You said both of your cards have the issue. Were both of the cards tested in the same pci-e slot with the same pci-e power cables? If yes, try another pci-e slot with a different set of pci-e power cables.

I am having the same issues. I believe the issues are with my nzxt hale 1000 watt power supply. I am going to game tonight and am logging the voltages and data with hwinfo. I originally thought it was a finicky card not liking stock clocks, but underclocking does not help either. The issue seems to have gotten worse, But I really only game in the winter mostly. I though it also could have been my samsung wonder ram was overclocked but putting that back to 1600 mhz  from 2400mhz did not help. PC has been rebuilt with windows 7 x64 a while ago and this did not help either.
I'm going to try and adjust the pci-e version in the bios also. 
pci-e link state power management is off. I did notice the Asrock formula drive took over my power profile. So I reapplied it to the High performance just now.
 
 
i5-3570k oc to 4ghz unparked cores.
16gb samsung wonder ram oc to 2400mhz (back to 1600 for now)

AsRock OC Formula z77
lian li- pc A77F(lots of fans)
3 samsung 245bw monitors 1920x1200"two in need of repair in the closet." still no tri-monitor setup
7 platter drives.
3ssd's

Yeah ive used a mix of the different slots. I just switched out my other gpu and the cables and so far its holding up ill play some more demanding games later and report back!

If it works with two different PCI-E cables and if the previous ones still cause the problem contact the PSU manufacturer if you are still under warranty.

Well its been 6 days and ive done extensive testing with no issues, which makes me believe it was either the pci-e slot or the cables ill but the new cables seem to be working!
