Hey all, I'm new to the forums and have been on other OC sites (which will not be named).

I'm trying to troubleshoot a BSOD and decide if it's a hardware issue, but my system rebooted before I was able to write the stop codes (I have since disabled auto reboot on system failure). I do have a copy/paste of some of the windows error reporting. This is the first time I've been getting any BSOD and I built this system back around Nov/Dec of 2010. So it's less than a year old.
I first got a BSOD when running Combat Arms (FPS). I was thinking it was just some minor glitch. The second one happened just about an hour ago when I was watching a flash video on www.wimp.com

Here are some specs (other than what I filled out in my rig specs via user CP):
CPU-Z: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1940906
I had the bus setting at 215, but after the BSOD I dropped it to 212 just in case. So the CPU-Z Shows it at the current setting after the BSOD.

Temps after restarting: CPU: 42C, MB: 35C. I idled in my BIOS for a min and the CPU rose to 44C, then was stable for 10 minutes.

I doubt the BSOD was caused by my PSU. In my experience the PSU just causes a system restart, bypassing the BSOD. I forgot what my PSU specs are, but I'll have them in a moment.

As for Virus/Malware protection I am running Avast 6 Free and I have been running scans with MalwareBytes. Nothing comes up with either scan.

Here is a copy/paste of my error reports after starting up the computer each time:

Oh, and I'm thinking there is a small possibility that it's my GFX card. I just have the onboard Radeon HD 4200. I have not OCed it.

Possibly something to do with the error codes for the BSOD, either "3b", or "1e". I tried googling these but only came up with STOP Error codes (none similar).
