BSOD playing Assassins Creed 3, Borderlands 2
Hello everyone, first-time poster here so my apologies if I have not included any important information. I have been having this problem only very recently and I was wondering if any of you could give me any insight on it.
While playing graphics-heavy games like AC3 or Borderlands 2 I have received the following error messages I have appended to the bottom of this post. The game will "quit unexpectedly", and if I prompt the computer to close the program, I get the BSOD. If I just X out of the window telling me AC3 quit unexpectedly and end the process from the task manager, I don't receive the BSOD.
I am thinking it has something to do with my CPU running too hot (I caught it at around 70-85 degrees shortly after a game crash).
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
PS - I have also included an attached file with my system diagnostics.
