It is running perfectly except for occasionally the computer will either, freeze and require a hard reboot, or blue-screen on me. This only happens when playing video games, and the only two which I have observed it on were Skryim and Diablo 3.
I have all the drivers up to date. All windows updates are installed. The CPU temperature is fine, max ~50 degrees Celsius under load. I am using the stock heat sink and fan. I need some help locating the problem, so that I could either fix it or replace the part. I am not sure how to go about troubleshooting. Thank you for the help.
