Yeah, my CPU runs rather hot. I am playing Battlefield 3 however. But! It's idle temp is pretty warm too. like 40-50 I think.

I have Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Warfighter that has been running for 4 days solid on my system right now.
Did you check that cpu fan and any secondary case cooling fans for dirt? Also check the heatsink on the cpu for dust stuck in the fins.

I think I MAY have fixed it. I updated my chipset drivers, and flashed my bios, and it hasn't bluescreened in a about 2 or 3 days. So let's hope it stays that way.

I would say it was more the chipset drivers then anything. Can you post the link to where you got it and maybe I can find out what the update actually fixt that may have been the issue.

Yeah I'm betting it was the chipset because it is from January this year. The bios is over a year ago. Did you update both and then try it or just one and tested?

[Sheperd]

Updated both at the same time, because my current chipset was really old, and my bios verison was 0804, and updated to 1314 or something like that. I hadn't updated either of those since I bought the computer a year and a half ago.

OK then it could be the combination that did the trick. Either way I am glad to hear you have had no problems since doing the updates.
It has been 5 days since you last posted and if you have had no problems in those 5 days I would venture to say it seems to be resolved.
