Cpu possible overheating to blue screen?

[Ethan Wilson]

So i just built my first computer ever (Yay) not to say it didn't take me forever but it did. Okay so on to the point. Recently after playing a game for a few hours it will randomly close me out of my game i open it again then it crashes to blue screen. I have checked my temps and my cpu is around 50c and a max of 66c. I'm not sure if that's too hot or not. like i said its one of my first builds ever and i'm worried I something i did wrong. My friend is the one to usually help me, but he moved away awhile back and now i'm at a total loss. here are my specs.

OS: Windows 7 64 Bit
CPU: I7-4790k @ 4.0ghz
Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Ram: 16gb Corsair vengeance
GPU: Radeon R9 270
Motherboard: Gigabye Z97X-UD5H-BK motherboard
PSU: Corsair rm750

Really new to all of this so any help is much appreciated.

what was the bugcheck code?
the actual memory dump file posted on a cloud server would help in checking basic potential issues.

look in c:\windows\minidump and see if you have any .dmp files, if you do then copy them up to a server and give them public access so they can be looked at.
the files are big so you will need to use a cloud service like mediafire or microsoft one drive to host the files.

No I do not have any .dmp files.

memory dump locations are set up by the user. You might want to see where your system is set to save them.
Take a look at this: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/204214-dump-file-change-default-location.html

No I do not have any .dmp files.
