BSOD when gaming
Hi all
I'm getting random BSOD's, name changing each time it happens. I was previously only getting the BSOD when playing "Dead Island" via steam. Then noticed this issue is happening on Empire Total War (a game i've never had with issues with) and also DOTA and rising storm (no issues previously).
Exact same GFX issue happens prior to BSOD, so guessing its my GFX. I get lots of pixelated squares on the screen, game freezes, followed by a black screen, then game resumes fine. After happening 5 times or so, with a gap between crashes at around 5 mins I'll get a BSOD. After each pixelated event, I receive a windows notification indicating my GFX card has stopped working.
Windows action centre supplies this info:

GFX temp sits around 70-90c when playing high spec games, idles around 30-40. I've recently powered down the PC and cleaned dust out using compressed air.
I also recently completed a memory checker using win7 feature, no issues detected.
Only other changes I've made, I updated my GFX driver from 10.0 to 13.xx as of 28-29th...Previously windows was telling me it was up to date until I manually checked due to receiving BSODs.
