    do you happen to remember the windows error code that is displayed when the comp BSODed ?

    Also, are you monitoring your video card and cpu temps ?

    Do you see any errors in event viewer under system ?

    Everest can monitor temps and even display it on the logitech LCD screen. Search the forum there are some details about that.
