My workstation (specs in signature) is cooled with 2x Zalman Reserator 1 towers, and this week here in Ottawa we've been seeing temperatures in the mid 30 C (85-90 F) which means the ambient temperature is about 31 C.
Normally when I do gaming or anything intensive the water temperature hits a max of about 35C. Today I hit 41C and the computer BSODed twice during different games of Starcraft 2. According to WhoCrashed, the problem was caused by ntoskrnl.exe and had the error DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Could this be overheating? I watched the CPU temps as I played and they didn't reach over 70C.
After your computer crashes, what crash log data can point to overheating? I'm thinking I need to help the computer out with some active cooling fans.
