Set your CPU at its stock freq. and see if that helps.

Does this happen with every game or just a select few?

EDIT: did you uninstall your old display drivers before installing the 8600GT?

If you get these BSOD randomly it wouldn't' hurt to give memtest a try.

1. What's the graphics driver u r using ? Remove it & install it freshly.

2. Check to see if your CPU & GPU fan is workin' properly.I mean if there's any obstructions or dust is present,clear that.

3. Try your PSU & GPU in other machine if possible.

4. Revert to stock CPU speed.

Hope you'll get a solution of your problem from the very knowledgeable & helpful people here.I think, overheating is the culprit here.

He also got BSOD while surfing the net.So, we can't blame the game alone. ;)

Sorry, that comment I was referring to the popup that he gets when his games crash.

Ived gotten that error before, my CPU was to high.

i could run crysis on highest setting without any crash(bsod) even moh runs smoothly,i came across this problem when i play cod4 or fsx and now even surfing(though rarely) the proxy temp is max at 60c,i mean real max,what should be the temp of the vid card in general i have 8600gt at stock speed it runs at 75c at load?
