Hello everyone, so basically i came from a 2 month vacation from my native country and i decided to clean my 1 and a half year old pc that i built. Everything seemed fine , altho for some weird reason there wasnt much dust that came out of the heatsink. Anyways i started playing Gta V and i started getting Bods , i got about 3 in the 20 hours or so i played it. I wasnt scared thinking maybe its just too hard to handle for the pc. But i got a Bod yesterday when playing CS GO which scared me because im always monitoring the GPU and CPU temps with MSI Afterburner and it wasnt high at all.
I havent installed any drivers except the latest one for the gpu from Nvidia but that was after i got at least 2 Bods.
System: CPU - Intel i5-4670k
GPU - Asus Gtx 780
Ram - 2x4GB Corrsair vengeance
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bit
PSU - Seasonic S12G-650
Motherboard - ASUS Z87-PRO
Heatsink - Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme
Another thing to note is that so far while playing witcher 3 (on high settings) for about 5 hours i havent had a BODs. So im pretty confused as to whats wrong , im thinking of opening the pc again n try n clean the heatsink better and make sure everything is in place. Is it also possible the temp stats from Rivatuner are wrong ?

) Also feel the side of your heatsink, if its too hot to touch for 4-5 seconds then your temps are way over what they should be, a BSOD while playing games can be many things but overheating is normally the issue
