BSOD's and/or Computer freezes
Hi there.
I stumpled upon this website in my search to find out what is causing my computer issue.
I really hope someone is able to help me here, as it seems that I cant get further without it.
I just assembled the computer with some newly bought parts, as my friends and I are getting ready to play the soon to be released game "Rift".
However after getting the computer up and running, and while playing the beta of this game, I am now getting BSOD's and hard freezes.
It only happens when i am in the game (havent played anything else, but I assume it also happens in other games, as there is no mentioning of these kind of crashes on the game forums / no problems on my friend's computers).
The only thing I can find in Windows eventviewer is the errors regarding windows havent been shutdown correctly.
It is Win7 Ultimate 64bit that is the O/S and I freshly installed it on my new HD (a C300), which I at first thought was the culprit, as the Disk has been the cause of many problems, as can be seen at the Crucial forum here: C300 Disk Freeze-ups in Windows 7 - Page 22 - Crucial Community
However I've noticed that all the people that experienced the problem had the same error showing up in the eventviewer about the disk. I havent seen this error.
I also thought it was the MB's OC Genie function (MSI p67-gd65), but after turning the OC function off it is still happening.
It doesnt seem to be a temperature problem, atleast not on the graphic card, as they never get hotter than 75C in the ATI control panel.
The CPU also seems to have normal temperature.
I have attached the files you usually request to this post, and I really really hope someone can get to the bottom of this.
Thank you very much in advance.

I forgot to mention the magnitude of the problem. Today my computer froze 2 times within 3 hours or so. There were no BSOD's today, just these freezes which i had to use the power button to shut down from.
Other days it may be 2 BSOD's + 2 hard freezes within 4 hours of gaming.
Sometimes i can play for like 5 hours straight and then have 2 of these crashes within 30 minutes, other days it can crash 2 times in the first hour, and work fine for hours after that.
It never crashes outside the gaming. Atleast no crashes have occured for this 1½ week I have had the computer, outside the game.
