Or it could be a driver...or any number of things. It's really hard to troubleshoot these things.

A processor overheating would more than likely cause a complete freeze or crash to POST.
The presence of the BSOD confirms that kernel debug was able to do a crash dump, which generally exonerates the CPU.
More than likely, it's either GPU or RAM that is causing it.
