    BSOD while gaming, possible CPU overheating?


    Been googling for a couple days now and stumbled on this site.

    Happens normally when gaming.
    I've re-applied thermal paste and cleaned everything out.
    As you can see from this pictured i provided, the CPU temp range varies.

    I'll get about 5 minutes into any game and it'll crash.

    I also have the report attached.
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Check the thermal paste again. What CPU cooler is being used?

    You might have just solved it. Rookie mistake, i don't have a cooler.

    Still though, It ran just fine a bit ago..

    I'll redo the thermal paste.

    It's just a basic heatsink with fan. To my knowledge, the fan is running fine.

    Check. Is it clean? Is the fan turning?
