BSOD when running Heaven Benchmarking Tool, Code 116

[Stormkitty]

Attached is the SF Diagnostics zip as requested. First time it bluescreened as soon as the program loaded before I even had a chance to benchmark, so I updated the drivers from 306.97 to 310.90 and tried again, and it got to Stage 15 of the Benchmark before bluescreening. Quite mystified.

Ok a couple of things come to mind What we are dealing with her could be indicative of a few things, now I have been seeing a lot of these dealing with some crappy drivers that were put out by nvidia during November/December of last year but it seems that the first time you received this problem was with a driver from October well outside of the range of bad drivers that they put out. I am curious if your graphics card is overclocked because this too could cause BSODs so if it is pleas stop over clocking for testing purposes. Two other things come to mind is your video card over heating and second could it simply be failing, now to rule these possibilities out please run the following test with the specified setup leisted below the link.

FurMark: Graphics Card Stability and Stress Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net

FurMark Setup:
- If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
- In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature" (BurnIn test in newer versions).
Click "Go" to start the test
- Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
- Click "Quit" to exit

I don't have this GPU overclocked.

Ran FurMark for around 5-10 minutes, GPU temperature maxed out at 79C, no problems appeared.

EDIT: Ran again at a higher resolution and 8x MSAA for 10 minutes, peaked out at 81C with no issues.

Alright, well that doesn't seem to high, but i would out of principle check and see if there is any dust build up and insure that the heatsync is clean. also have a look at this thread it could be of some help:
