bsod while playing games

[mahlik lake]

i keep getting bsod whenever playing any games. bf4 in particular. when i use the bluescreenview program it says that the driver at fault is ntoskrnl.exe. ive tried doing a memtest on the ram as well as running it one stick at a time. i've done a test on my hard drive, i also reseated all the cables and updated my videocard drivers as well as many drivers from my motherboard manufacture website but it is still giving bsod. this started when i upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8.1. i have since gone back to windows 7 but the problem persists. help pls 🙁

Your computer can either, not run the game properly, or is overheating, my old computer always blue screened on overheats.

okay ive turned up all my case fans and the gpu and cpu fans to turbo. i also cleaned the inside of the pc and got rid of some dust. there wasnt much but there was some dust. i also turned down the settings a bit to make the workload less on my pc to make it run cooler as well. i did play for quite a while and it did not crash so i guess its so far so good. if it continues not crashing im gonna get a really good 3rd party cpu cooler. thanks for the response

alright so i have been playing around with my pc playing games and the cpu fan is at max and ive turned down the resolution on some games a bit to produce less of a workload. no bsod so far so im assuming that my cpu was overheating im gonna get a nice 3rd party cpu fan or liquid cooling agent thanks for the help duck74uk
