Random games on steam keep blue screening on the exact same spot [Help]

Random games on my computer keep Blue Screening
I have had this problem for a while now, I built my rig this summer and games I installed on here have been working just fine. But as soon as I got Left 4 dead, and a bunch of other games on steam. I've noticed a lot of game BSOD'ing (blue screen of death) on me. I had fix the problem for a little bit before i went on vacation by editing the seatings in steam and changing the server I was using from one in Australia to one in Houston closer to where I live. But as soon as I came back the problem came back as well and this wont fix it anymore. Every time I start up games like left 4 dead 2, they consistently blue screen in the exact same spot. Left 4 dead 2 blue screens before I even get to the main menu, after the opening cinematic. Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 blue screens as soon as I hit the log in button. Killing floor blue screens as soon as I hit any buttons associated with LAN. This does not affect all games, online games likke counter strike source work with no problems, and offline games like Arkham Asylum work as well. all these games crash (blue screen) in the exact same spot every time. I have tried invalidating the files and checking for corrupt or missing files on all these games, but It never fixes the problem.

These are the games i have had the problems with:
Alien swarm: wont boot, BSOD after the first loading screen
Dead Island: BSOD after selecting my character for campaign
Killing Floor: BSOD when click on LAN tab for finding games, BSOD when trying to host a game.
Left 4 dead: BSOD after loading screen before main menu
Left 4 dead 2: same as left 4 dead 1.
Operation Flash point: Dragon Rising: BSOD before game even starts.

I have tried re installing these games, and the problem still persists.
Here are my Computers Specs:
Intel Core i7-2600 CPU 3.400GHz 3.70 GHz
8GB RAM
64-bit Operating System
NVIDIA GeForce 560 2gb

Here are some of my NVIDIA control panel settings:

Edit: Just found out that Rainbow 6 vegas 2 has the same problem, blue screened just as soon as clicked on internet games under terrorist hunt.

Think it could be faulty video card drivers, try uninstalling them and reinstalling.

Try removing and reseating all cards, memory, and cables (both ends when possible) - actually
remove and replace - do not just snug (on a PC) and clean out the dust bunnies and vents. On
a laptop about all that can be done is reseat the memory and clean the vents. (Of course remove
ALL power prior to opening the case.)

3b is usually a graphic's driver (display adapter/video driver), other possibilities include
but are not limited to antivirus/antispyware/security programs and even memory (mapping).

BCCode: 3b 0x0000003b

also try reinstalling DirectX

OS is legit.

Also, to see if your GPU is the problem, take the card out and try playing the game using the your motherboards onboard gpu, (low settings of course)

[Update]
OK. So, I uninstalled my graphics card by carefully removing it from the mobo ( i grounded my electricity before or whatever) and let it sit out for a couple of hours. I also removed my 4 sticks of ram and re-installed them as well. After I re-installed the card and plugged it back in I uninstalled the current drivers for the card, and re-installed the latest ones. After this I uninstalled all my steam games, uninstalled steam, ran malwarebytes, and re-installed steam. I did a full scan with malwarebytes, and no malicious identities were detected. After I re-installed steam I downloaded left 4 dead 2 again. So basically I started over again. Well I started up left 4 dead 2 in hopes that all this solved the problem...nope. Still blue screened at the exact same spot. Damn. I've pretty much given up hope. I think the only thing I have left to do is to return my graphics card and get a new one. Anyone got any suggestions that may help?
Here is the error report on the latest blue screen:
