Windows 10: BSOD when playing games

Since two days I have been getting BSOD when I play games. I thought it was an issue with 1 specific game, but it turns out it is with many games.I have tried looking for recent updates but my last update even of drivers have been like 2 weeks ago. The games I play arent new and I never had this issue with these games before. The only new thing I've recently installed is Office 365...I really don't understand why this is happening. I can see in task manager that my graphics card is used a lot. It goes to like a 100% and then the game freezes, my SSD spikes to a 100% windows in installed on

I suggest you to update the Graphic Card drivers by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

BSOD while playing games

Should I activate verifier for all drivers or only for unsigned drivers?
