BSOD whenever I play 30+ minutes of CSGO straight.

As the title suggests, I always get a BSOD whenever I play 30+ minutes of CSGO in one sitting.

I've only tried reinstalling and verifying game integrity. I do not believe the issue is due to heat because my CPU and GPU maintains 47 degrees Centigrade during games.

Prior, I typically get a Blue Screen once a month during csgo, but recently it has been occurring multiple times.

I can post pictures of what BlueScreenViews Said about each scenario.

CSGO is the only game that causes BSOD.

My specs are:
CPU: FX-8320 with a Hyper TX3 Cooler
GPU: R9 270
PSU: Rosewill Hive 550W
RAM: 1x8 Corsair Vengeance- 1866
Mobo-Asus M5A97 R2.0
 


I'm still a beginner with computer hardware. I haven't tried a test for the RAM yet, could you link me to a site to obtain that software? And could you explain how to obtain the heat numbers for chipsets
 
SpeedFan is a great starting place for reading your motherboard temperature settings ( http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php ). They have online tutorials (as does YouTube) for executing that. For testing the RAM there is an option to test that in the Windows install disk in Recovery Tools if you want... or you can try something like Memtest which does a decent job... http://www.memtest.org/
