Windows 10: Lenovo crashes when playing games WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR

Hello. My computer has been malfunctioning for a while now. Whenever I play games like Team Fortress 2 it seems to give me a blue screen after a certain amount of time. No idea why. I play the game off of a SSD, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Lenovo Ideapad, crashes to WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR and MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION

• TLDR: (Too long, didn't read)
  

I have Lenovo Ideapad laptop and when it tries to start, it crashes to blue screen of death, during windows dot-cycle screen. Here are the error codes:
1. 0x00000124 WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR
2. 0x0000009C MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION

Rarely it starts and I see the desktop, but in few minutes it crashes again.

I thought it's because of the harddisk (it was trying to read it very hard) so I opened the laptop, switched the harddisk and tried to re-install windows from USB stick.
Fresh Windows install from USB stick crashed in the same cycle-dot screen too. Sometimes immediately, sometimes after 30 seconds.

Any ideas?

LONG STORY:

I bought a Lenovo laptop around February 2017, with Windows 10. It's 2+ years old now.
Time by time I was observing some problems at harddisk. I noticed its noise, as it was trying to read it very hard, goes to %100 usage at task manager. Rarely it was crashing and restarting the machine.

But last week, the issue became permanent.

The computer tries to start normally, but when it comes to Windows screen with cycling dots, it freezes. Sometimes returns blue screen and restarts.

On rare occasions, this does not happen, and the machine manages to show my desktop. But I still see it tries to read the harddisk very hard, and in few minutes it crashes again with blue screen.

Thing is, I changed the harddisk. I tried to re-install Windows 10 from USB.
But when it comes to the cycling dot screen, even "Fresh Windows install to a new harddisk" crashes the same way too.

I was working on this problem for few days, and I made attempts to solve this in BIOS, and received 2 different error messages during the process:

1. 0x00000124 WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR
   
2. 0x0000009C MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
   

I am open to try any type of ideas, I tried too many things already but randomly but I will apply all solutions one by one.

Whea_uncorrectable_error only when playing games

I've been experiencing the Whea_Uncorrectable_error BSOD when playing games like CSGO or planetside 2, but not League of legends. It happened frequently when playing the mentioned games on 8.1, then when I upgraded to Win 10 it still occurred.
