i got blue screen a lot lately playing NFS, then games on my pc wouldnt even run, they just give me blue screens.
i dont think its an OC error since i had my pc on this setting the first day i got it. |

What operating system are you running? Vista and old-school games don't mix very well. If you're running Vista, try compatibility mode with XP Service Pack 2.

Did it only start after installing a certain program/game or did it just start randomly? the only thing you could try is off loading all your apps and games and then systematically putting them all back on and seeing when the faults start again

| Perhaps its a random hardware conflict that sometimes happen when using high drain resources ( i.e. GPU+ Game = blue screen) maybe |

^Slightly related^ Try updating your hardware drivers. The company may have optimized the code and fixed any well-known issues. I would say a blue screen would be pretty well known.
