Random Crashes In Game

Hey, my computer has been crashing lately, seemingly randomly. When Im in game a blue screen will appear, and therell be a screaching sound. Itll say windows has shut down to prevent hardware damage. Ive tried reinstalling and roolling back drivers, but nothing seems to work. Any help?
 
Check your temperatures if you have a hardware monitor. List system specs/OS. List driver versions. Laziness won't get your questions answered...
 
does that happen in every game? Tried reinstalling the game?

Try using prime95 to check if your system is stable.
List Spec and Name of Game
Driver versions
Check Temps
 
If you've had the system for a while and you notice that the temps are up, try cleaning the heatsinks off. Start with the easy stuff and work up to the more complicated>
 
Thanks. It happens in all games, BF2, GTA, CS:S. I checked the CPU temps, and it looks like they are a little high in windows, 45 C. My drivers are:

Sorry I didnt post these things before, I was sort of hoping the solution would be easy, or there might be a quick fix. Thanks.
 
Not sure if those driver details were very good, know any good apps that can give me my driver details? Sorry for the scrub questions.
 
Not so sure it has to do with heat anymore. It crashed while idle a little while ago, and the internal temp was 34 C. Any other suggestions? Possibly a problem with drivers for my Audigy 2 LS, which have been giving me some grief. Thanks.
