So I can't seem to figure out the problem. I broke down the system to a CPU, GPU, mobo and just a hard drive so I can't remove anything else. All drivers and bios were updated to the newest versions after the first bsod. All of my temps were normal. My gtx 660sc was 30 degrees at all times and my 760k was good too. Then after that didn't help I tried to do a vanilla install of windows 7 ultimate and I am currently still trying to do so. I can't finish it without a blue screen happening. I am thinking its just my GPU but I don't want to issue an RMA if there is something I can do. I need my computer for school and I don't have money to just go and get a new GPU at the moment.

74 is the MAX temp allowed for the CPU before it throttles or shuts off. It should not realistically be higher than low 60s.

You definitely have an issue. Your voltages do seem a bit high, but the temps are likely what was causing the bluescreen.

You should completely reset the CMOS on the motherboard and try again. This will reset everything to stock. That is the next step.

I may have figured it out. I think my CPU was overvolting. I dropped the stock clock to 3.5 took off the turbo and I took off the stock xmp profile on the ram and have it natively running at 1600mhz. Managed to reinstall windows. Have not had a blue screen yet. I am going to begin installing drivers and then I will come back to my CPU clock speed.

So since about 10pm yesterday to about 5 am the PC ran at load at an under clocked 3.5ghz from the stock 3.9ghz. Load temp was about 73 degrees. It is on the stock cooler still. Turbo is still turned off. The computer then ran idle from 5 to 8am. No blue screens or anything. I feel like it was overvolting or something. The voltage is at 1.36 because all I did was take down the core clock. 1.36 is my stock voltage. But I did notice that when it would turbo prior to restarting my windows install and stuff that it would jump to 1.47-1.48 sometimes so I'm going to mess around with it in the bios. I'm going to get a hyper tx3 soon and get rid of the stock cooler.

73c is TOO HOT for an fm2 CPU. You are definitely overheating.

What CPU do you have?

If your cooler is installed properly and working properly then it is not the cooler and adding a better cooler is not fixing the problem, but just putting a band-aid on it which is NOT a good idea.

Its a 760k and its on the stock cooler. 73 @ 3.5 is good under load. Average for a 750k which is the same as a 760k but at 3.4 GHz max load temp is 72 degrees. It is not overheating. I have seen this cpu overheat before.
