This case is not exactly the same but it looks very similar. I noticed on the one pictured above /linked above there is no case fan on the glass panel. Mine has one. Other than that it looks somewhat the same (although possbly smaller too but hard to judge). I got it when I first built the PC a couple years ago.
Only case fan is the stock one at the back of the case. I still doubt it's heat but ok. Also last time I cleaned the dust bunnies out was a few months ago with an air duster.
Also set the multiplier to 15.5x. I checked CPU-Z and it says 15.5x at ~3100 MHz. Do you think a minor underclock might fix it? I don't mind losing 100 MHz lol.

Never mind found it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119203
Cooler Master Elite 310
The one on the above post is the Elite 311 which is really the same except that the PSU is mounted below not on top like the 310.

You only have the one fan at the back of the case? That's not good. I would be concerned with motherboard components getting too warm and causing instability. Are there places for more fans in the front of the case? If you're looking to do an upgrade in the near future, that's where I would start; with a new case that is. This is one place where beginner builders typically take shortcuts. A good wide case (at least 8") with plenty of clearance to the side panel for tall, aftermarket coolers and plenty of fan mounts. Good case ventilation is essential to when you are running hot CPUs like yours. You might also try removing the side panel and running the Prime95 blend test and see if it helps.
This is a great choice for not much more than you paid for yours after the rebate is taken into consideration: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233

Just realized that I put the memory sticks in the wrong slots (there are 4 in my motherboard). They were in separate channels A and B. Would having one stick in each channel cause BSODs (as opposed to putting them in the same channel?)?

My PC has been working fine for almost a month. I forgot to update the thread with information.
Solution?
I just moved both memory sticks to the other two slots. Once I hit 2 months in June I think it's safe to call it fixed.
