BTW, do you only have 1 dump file? Having just 1 doesn't mean problem. It might have been a random occurrence. If you get several with the same error code then u have a problem.
Beware that although it presents that answer it doesn't mean it's correct. See: "The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time." -> this line points to software but the previous points to hardware. When it comes to crashing from ntoskrnl.exe it's a freaking pain in ass. My last time it was software and I only ruled by software by installing windows again. I couldn't find whatever was making those BSOD.

Also I've checked the last 4 dump files from within the past month and all of them have the same error message from the same kernel

As it is the CPU and depending on what thermal paste you used before you could use another thermal paste to see if it does any better, but you could replace the heatsink just to be safe since most would include pre-applied thermal paste (I have heard good things about the Arctic cooling freezer 7 pro, and the current revision should work on most processors) along with upgrading any cooling fans attached to the case just to shift as much heat away from the computer as possible. |

An update: I think the PSU might be dead. Tried opening up the case and checking all the cables to make sure everything was properly plugged in but afterwards the PC would not power on. Tried doing the jump start trick (paper clip end in the green and black holes of the main molex) and it didn't turn on. Is this a definite sign that its dead? I find it odd considering its not that old (bought in 2011) and is a Cosair-brand PSU, and I hear those are supposed to be high quality
edit: Doing some more test I beleive the motherboard might be whats actually dead. The first time I tried connecting the PSU to the graphics card and trying the jumpstart trick it didn't power on the card. I tried the same trick again but this time I used a cd rom drive I had lying around and it was able to power on. I also tried plugging in another PSU i had and that didn't power on the computer at all. Is their some way to make sure the motherboard is dead without having to spend money on a new one only to find out that thats not the problem?
