Blue screen after 5 minutes of stress testing. Not enough voltage?

I ran AIDA64 stress test and had the options to stress test RAM and Cache along with CPU. I monitored my temps and had a CPU temperature of 67C with the highest temperature core reaching 80C according to AIDA64. After about 5 minutes the computer blue screened. Does anyone know what this means? If it had blue screen right away I would have assumed there was not enough voltage but since it took about 5 minutes I'm not sure what to think.

The build:

Asus X99 Deluxe Motherboard
Intel Core i7-5820K @ 4.4Ghz with Corsair Hydra H110
G.Skills 16Gb DDR4 2133Mhz
Samsung 840 Evo 250 GB
Asus Strix GTX 970

 
Solution
Sure it can it just depends on where the CPU temp actually was. I would try bumping the overclock down a bit or your fan speeds up a bit so your temps don't go above 75C and see if it is stable.

I agree with that as well but I am more curious to know why the computer blue screened. It seems to me that 80 would not be enough to cause the computer to become unstable.
