About a week ago my PC started to BSOD randomly. These BSODs would happen at random intervals and each time I would be doing something completely different, so I can't really relate any actions I performed to the crashes. The random BSODs have now stopped(I haven't experienced one in a few days) but now whenever I open a game, I mostly play League of Legends and BF4 for those interested, the computer will last about 3 seconds before the screen completely freezes. When the screen freezes, it doesn't go black, it just leaves open whatever was on the screen and I can still hear whatever sound was playing. I believe this may be a CPU/RAM related issue and I am planning on buying replacement RAM in roughly a months time.
My PC was custom built by me about 10 months ago and the specs are as follows:

Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme4
CPU: AMD FX-6300 Six-Core Processor 3.50 GHz
GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7750
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws-X 8GB kit (2x4GB) DDR3
PSU: Cooler Master 500w ATX 12v v2.3

Please help me solve this issue as quickly as possible as I am not so computer savvy as others on these forums and would really appreciate any support I could get.

Your cpu is probably getting too hot.

Blow out the case to get built up dust out. Then see how you go.

You probably need to clean your PC.

Would you recommend buying one of those air duster cans? I just took a better look inside and blew out the case as you said, but it looks like a bit too much of a job to do with manual blowing alone. I hadn't blown out my case in months before you suggesting it just now, and there was fairly large amount of dust built up around the case, particularly in and around the heat-sink portion of the cpu/cpu cooling and I'm not sure if anything other than either using an air duster or actually removing parts from the case will actually allow me to thoroughly clean out my pc.

Use a compressor or a can of compressed air
