Solved BSOD Playing Almost all games

But to note the 7970 did work fine in a friends PC and also was tested to be operational at the retailer.
Your one, or another one? A hardware error is not necessary to occur in all the hardware of the same specification.

Overheating, bad/improperly installed driver, dust, etc all may cause the issue, but in most of the cases it is hardware issue.

I just want to say thanks so much for the help, I took the PC in for a diagnostic at the retailer and they found that some of the pins on the MoBo where the CPu connects were bent, I bought a new MoBo for time being and the other has been sent off for repair! Now everything is working fine!

Thanks again for the assistance
