I have i7 4770k on an Asus SABERTOOTH Z87 that I just upgraded to from an MSI 990xa-gd55 and an AMD FX-6100. Due to the new motherboard and CPU I had to do a fresh windows install which I did successfully. I am using the stock cooler which I've got to say is disappointing about the fitting system, the CPU cooler simply clips in, I do no believe this would give me as good contact as an after market cooler that screws in, just to point out my CPU is idling at around 30 degrees Celsius. Recently my computer has BSOD'd while playing ArmA 3 and Battlefield 4. I assume it is something to do with temperature of my CPU as I believe the temp is not normal. I have been hesitant about water cooling but it has become more of an option now I know people who use it and would recommend it. But anyway my CPU is 30 degrees at 3.5 GHz (factory clock). I was planning on over clocking it with an after market CPU cooler such as the cooler master hyper 212 evo but am not sure if even this will do the trick.
Procedures I have taken to solve my BSOD:
1. Make sure all mother board and chip set drivers are up to date.
2. Reinstalled the operating system for new mother board and CPU.
3. 1) right click on my computer
2) click on advanced tab
3) under performance click settings
4) click on advanced
5) under virtual memory click change
6) click no paging file
7) click ok, and save, restart the computer, load into safemode
8) go back to the same place
9) go to virtual memory
10) click system managed size
11) OK and restart.
(I found this method on another thread)
I would like to hear your views on liquid cooling and any solutions appart from the ones listed above to my BSOD problem.
Any help is much appreciated.

I have now assumed it is not to do with the CPU, I have been presented with the blue screen of death while installing windows updates upon shutdown, I can't think it would be my HDD as I have tested it on HDD Tune. I have also tested my RAM, could this be something to do with my video card, it is an EVGA GTX 760 FTW 4gb.
