    So when I'm running Prime95, my CPU temp is hitting 72 degrees C right now. Is that normal or too hot?
    i'm running the Small FFT's right now.

    72șC is way too hot! Look into a better cooling solution as the first step to correcting this.

    I cleaned out my PC, it was a lot duster that i thought it was.
    So I replaced some fans that where like 5 years old and added and new intake fan in the front bottom.
    I took the cpu chip out and replaced the thermal. I found what looked like a piece of burnt dust on the pin side of the CPU, it came off easily thankfully the CPU now looks clean.

    Net effect when i ran the Prime95 Small FFT's test, the cpu never went above 50C. so it looks like my PC is running a lot cooler over all.

    I was able to play WOW tonight for 6 hours with no BSOD. Which is a big improvement.

    Going to do some more testing to see if BSOD problem is fixed or not.
