Maybe the PSU, but the HD7770 does not draw too much PSU. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/XFX/HD_7770_Black_Edition_Super_Overclock/24.html

1) What is your MB?
2) What games can cause the bsod or crash ?
3) Do you monitor the CPU and GPU temp with the software?

1) mb Asus m5a78l-m usb3

2) game that crash so far mechwarrior online, cs:go, no more room in hell, natural selection 2, arma 2.

3) i use cpuid hardware monitor, gpu no more than 60c, cpu 40c, mb 50c in full load.

When you use the fx8150 with the AMD 7xx chipset MB, then it is a little bit tricky because the MB manufacturer said the MB is compatible to the cpu, but it does not mean the PC can run stable. Because the MB only has the 4+1 power phase (VRM) also it does not come with the heatsink, it is easy to overheat and also that does not has heat sensor. So that the PC sometime will bsod or freeze up like that. Check the link, M5A88-M (EVO) has the same # power phase as your MB, and it can't handle FX8150 at stock. https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=4

I add the link you can try to use the fans to cool down the VRMs section like they do. http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=733680

And let me know it works or not. Thanks.

You put your samll fan in the wrong place, the VRMs section should be in the left side not the bottom side in the picture. You may need two of fans, but you can try one first.
