Bluescreen problem OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3.

Recently, I have tried to play (and install) games and i can play for a while (5-15ish minutes)But then the screen screws up and the colours turn into horizontal lines followed by a bluescreen. When the computer restarts I get this :

BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 2057

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 1000008e
BCP1: C0000005
BCP2: 82692539
BCP3: B5B90B00
BCP4: 00000000
OS Version: 6_0_6001
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 768_1

Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini073110-02.dmp
C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-60575-0.sysdata.xml
C:\Users\Tom\AppData\Local\Temp\WER78B7.tmp.version.txt

I originaly thought the problem could be due to overheating (hot weather) because it was a heatwave when i started to get this, but even on a cool day i still get this issue.

Any advice?
Thankyou
 
0x8E errors are almost always caused by hardware and the horizontal lines sounds like artifacting which means either your video card is overheating or it is dying.

How to find and post your Minidump Files:

It is these files that we need (not the folder). Attach to your next post the five most recent dumps. Notice the Manage Attachments button at the bottom when you go to post the next time.
