According to the manual the computer should be okay up to 78C (assuming the fan correctly adjusts to the corresponding RPM) and the lowest critical temperature is 83C. However it also says "Throttling 0%" underneath the chart from which I got these numbers. And it turns out the version of Windows I have cannot be installed on this machine, so I haven't done that yet.

Dont understand its on the machine now.

I meant, the version of windows that's on my boot disc cannot be installed on my computer (it's an older version, and it's 32-bit-- the installer on the boot disc wouldn't let me run it).

Also, playing music files seems to exacerbate the problem-- I've had 3 blue screens today (just had my 3rd) all while listening to music and browsing the internet (but the problem didn't seem to happen until I put the music on). This sounds promising, right? Watching videos/listening to music on youtube doesn't seem to cause any problems on its own.

Did you boot from the Disc and not the operating system, ie, set the computer to boot from CD in BIOS?

I booted from the disc first as per the instructions, but all I got was a window asking me if I wanted to install windows 7. Then when I tried to install it said I should boot my computer without the disc, insert the disc and install from there.

What do you think about the audio files causing crashes?

I dont think its the filles, but if your driver is not up to date you should do so. Old drivers are often the cause of this problem.
Im leaning toward Hardware under stress, however.

So I already ran a driver stress test, a memtest and scanned my hard drive. Is there a test I'm missing or one that I should do differently?

The prime95 test may show something. Set it up as though you did not do the memory test. It will be a second check.
Prime95

So I'm running the prime95 torture test "Blend (tests some of everything, lots of RAM tested)". My computer feels hotter to the touch than the times when it bluescreened, and the test has been running for 16 hours now. I'll update you when it's been 24, but I somehow doubt it's going to pick anything up.

UPDATE: My computer crashed during the stress test! (Although I suppose we can't be sure the stress test is what caused it, as it seemed to happen unexpectantly before. I was not using my computer at the exact moment of the crash, however.)

Anyway, I got the standard Windows message saying that my computer shutdown unexpectantly, with this information:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3

C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-398660-0.sysdata.xml

The only thing contained in the results .txt file for the prime95 test was a list of passed tests (attached). Can you figure out what went wrong from that? Or did I not set up the log correctly?

Thanks so much.

That was not from the test. Try this final test, if not success, I will reexamine the thread again carefully and get back to you.
Hardware Diagnostics
Try the furmark test.
