Windows 10: Multiple BSOD When Launching Various Games

Recently built my first custom computer and have been having issues ever since. Setup is listed below:

OS: Windows 10
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME Z370-P LGA1151 DDR4
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz
Graphics Card(s): Nvidia GTX GeForce 670

The card is a bit older yes, and I will be updating shortly (just waiting on additional funds), however have not had issues before with this card. All other components are brand new.

The BSODs occur whenever I launch various games (not all, but not specific to one or two) immediately after they start or shortly thereafter. The error codes rotate between the following:

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

and

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Any help would be appreciated!

Launching games

Hi Wesley,

Windows 10 is gamer-friendly by design. If an issue like being unable to launch a game happens, it can be caused by outdated display driver or other factors that cause conflict when launching the app. For us to better assist you, we'd like to ask for additional
information. Please answer the following:

• What build and version of Windows 10 are you using?
• Are you getting an error message when launching the game?
• Have you made any changes to the settings or installed updates prior to this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
• What specific games are you having issues with?

We will wait for your response.
