after thinking everything thing was running fine just had a blue screen crash

had been playing far cry 2 for about an hour

came out of the game and decided to run a prime 95 torture test, ranf or about 30 mins 98%cpu load then blue screen, it recomened using 4008 of ram i upped this to 4200 with vista running ram use is about 1600 so it still left 200 free could this have caused it

when i restarted the PC got a bios check sum error and the bios did a auto recovery auto fix

any advice would be great
