Could my 7970 be overheating?

So last night it was about 90 in New Jersey. I haven't installed my AC in my room yet (We do not have central air) and I got 3 Blue Screens while playing CSS. I was watching my 7970 temps after the first blue screen and I was at about 78c when the second blue screen happened.

The pc had been running for about 11 hours when the BSOD happened during which it was running multiple games including CSS, and world of warcraft. I have been trying to diagnose the problem but I don't know what information to look up in Event Viewer to get an idea of what happened.

Could the BSOD be cause by my 7970 overheating? It is a factory overclocked card but it is not overclocked past that.

What information do I need to research the issue? I have the 3 Critical errors located in Event Viewer but I don't know how to read this.
