I think we have a winner.
So I tried running Intelburntest and temperature jumped to 72 degrees in seconds. As in less than 15 seconds.
What next then?

did you download Core Temp? Core temp will tell you the max temps pf your CPU. If your CPU is like other Ivy Bridge CPU's, which I'm sure it is, the max core temps are 105. 72 is really not hot for them. But, if you are using the stock cooler, watch the temps closely. I wouldn't let it go above 90. If it does, get yourself a third party CPU cooler. The stock coolers on Intel and AMD CPU's are very bad.
I am using a stock cooler yes, but my case is very well ventilated, so I thought it would be enough.
I followed instructions in the intelburn tutorial CPU - Stress Test Using IntelBurnTest and according to this page I thought it was 69. I'll give it another run and let it go up to 90 then because Core temp tells me that 105 is the TJ Max.
You are correct, but it's 2 different temps. There is Tcase and TJmax. You were right about Tcase temp, but there is no software that can read that, as far as I know. It is complicated and I'll be happy to explain the difference as best I know, if you really want to know. But, we are forced, pretty much, to go by TJmax, which Intel won't tell what that is. It only tells the temp we cannot measure. Go figure.
OK, so it passed standard and high test no problem. On "very high" it reached 97 quite quickly, so I stopped the test, so I guess I should be worried about overheating, but I'm not sure if this is something that could be the cause of the problem (Especially when so many of you seem to think that it's a gpu issue).
Also, speccy does not go pass identifying the OS, and as soon as it startes, PC crashes completely.
In normal usage, you will never see the temps reach even close to what they do in Intel Burn Test, but, just for general useage, I would seriously consider a 3rd party CPU cooler. But, I don't believe that is the cause of your problems. Why not try what Britton30 suggested? It takes a little work, but costs nothing. That will be for just a test to see if maybe the pcie slot is malfunctioning. Most, if not all, of the BSOD reports relate directly to hig graphics usage. That being the case, I tend to look at either the card, drivers, board or PSU.
So I just got home from work and I have taken out the GPU again and let's see what happens if I just use the onboard graphics.
So yes, it crashed again! and it clearly mentions a driver issue. So here are the Attachment 269325.
It talks about
HIDCLASS.SYS
and
ntoskrnl.exe
Not sure what they are though. I have gone through everything and all my drivers seem to be up-to-date. When I google them there are a lot of different "solutions" to these issues...
Any new BSODs post with - Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions
OK so I got extremely frustrated yesterday because for a second, it worked. Everything was working fine! and then, again it went ballistic with the exact same issues, and identical BSODs. So I uninstalled everything and installed Windows 8 to see how it went. It improved, now it only crashes with games and not with anything else, but I give up. I'm resigned to play angry birds on my phone forever I think.
Thank you all for your help and patience.
