BSOD (IRQL_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS + two others)

I also had one other question. In the next picture, you see GPU/Temp1/Temp2/Temp3/HD0/CPU temps, I do not know what the Temp 1-3 are.

Spence I am not real sure to be honest but am going to guess they relate to the motherboard - the speed of the CPU fan is related to the to the CPU temps. This is a normal function as you might have noticed when the machine is under load the speed of the CPU fan does increase.

Just out of curiosity what cooler have you got on the CPU?

Now if you run Speccy the temps remain much the same as the Speedfan results? there are already some temps in post #9 but a shot of the summary ( first screen hat comes up when HW is started up.

Alright, I believe this can be chalked down to the fact that my fans were performing inadequately resulting in my cpu overheating, I can't find any other reason for the BSoD's and they have ceased since I replaced the fans and reapplied some new thermal paste just to be safe.

That's good then Spence if the problem comes up again then it might be as well to fit a better cooling system and it isn't that expensive - compared to being frustrated with BSOD's or even a wrecked CPU.
