Blue screen due to overheating?

[Matthew Collette]

Hi Guys! Every so often when I play a game (like wolfenstein new world order, battlefield 4, crysis 3) my computer will blue screen and dump ram etc.... I am confused as to why this is happening? its rare it bluescreens at 4.0 ghz(but it does every so often when performing multi tasks. downloading web, games etc...) but at 4.2 it seems to do it more often. I use the auto overclocking feature on my bios. I hope it crap airflow because i ordered a corsair obsidian 450d. Any suggestions appreciated

If you think the BSOD is due to overheating, then try to remove the side panel, boot up, run some games/benchmarks and check.
It might solve your problem and will let you know what to do (install more fans/watercooling etc).
