Random BSOD and reset after gaming. CPU bottleneck?

[aftaylor]

Guys, thanks in advance for the attention. I guess I know what's the reason for my issue, but I'd like to know some other opinions.

Here's the matter:

Sometimes when I finish playing a game which requires a good processing capacity the system freezes, BSOD's, and restarts. It's kinda twice for each 3 times I play. It doesn't happen with games that have low requirement (Playstation 1 roms, for example).

I don't have a graphics card anymore, its capacitors died, so I'm using the onboard gfx card and only simple graphic games. I believe my CPU is causing this, due to bottleneck.

My specs:

Mobo: Asus P8Z77-M
PSU: Corsair CX750
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4GB x2
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
CPU: Intel Core i3-2100

All the temps are ok, but all the parts outdate the CPU. Could a bottleneck cause freezing and BSOD? Does anyone else have the same problem?

Note 1: I also uninstalled the nVidia sound driver, since I don't have the card anymore. The issue still happens.

Note 2: I ran MemTest86+ and HDD Regenerator, both came out clean. So did both my antiviruses.

Thanks again!

It's the on-board Graphics card causing it.
Try re-installing the graphics driver.

What games are you playing?

Dude, I was playing Scribblenauts Unlimited! I know it's not a heavy or demanding game, but today I got BSOD'ed when I closed it. It's one of the few games I can play without demanding too much of the machine without gfx card.
