Well the weirdest thing is that my pc begun to crash in game right after the clean. I had like 2 crash in a row on for honor before but I solved that thanks to graphic driver update. Maybe this is a driver issue ? But I doubt it.
Also, I succeeded to play peacefully during 2 weeks thanks to geforce experience, by just low the graphics settings of my games but the crash reappear of nowhere.
In the Nvidia control panel, there is an option on 1 of the top menu (can't remember not in from of it right now) that should have an option to enable debug mode.
Try this reboot and check if your game still crash,.
Btw what is your system specs?
To also answer, it is possible a driver issue may trigger for you randomly.

Sorry for the wait, I was actually testing the debug mode.
So I did it and... It works ! I played a game on Overwatch without crash ! But, let's verify if It's really solved, I'm going to play for a few days before making this post on "solved".
Just in case, here's my specs:
OS: Windows 10 Professional 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i5 7400 3.00GHz
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 950 / Intel HD Graphics 630
Motherboard: Asustek computer INC. Prime Z270-P
RAM: 8Go
And what the debug mode exactly do ?

Debug mode remove factory overclock from a card.
So typically the card is probably the problem. Either it need a vbios update from its manufacturer or its just getting old or it overheat

Oh ok I see, but do I need to reboot my pc each time I activate this mode ? I've nerver use this before.
If you say the card is the problem, then for the heat , It's around 45-65°C (it depends of the game i'm playing, though).
I had the card for 4 years but I play a bit too much.
I recently updated my bios on the Asus website.
Yeah, I really think I need to have a new gpu.
Edit: Nevermind, game crashed on startup without reboot.

Okay, forget what I said. Debug mode is useless, my pc crashed again, It seems that it likes to give me fake hope.
My pc is really weird. Anyway, I already bought a new gpu online, just need to wait.

Now, this is really strange: Recently, my pc started to crash randomly.
I didn't do anything special. I have no idea what's going on.
Edit: okay, it seems it has stopped...for now.

Okay, so my GTX 1050 has finally arrived and I installed it. Everything is fine now, no more crash when playing.
I guess my GTX 950 was a bit old... and ddu seems to have nothing to do with the crashes.
Anyway, thank you Wagnard for your help.
