It could also be your fan; its probably not working. Post more info...

Indeed, if you have any minidumps, zip them up and attach them here.
As for drivers, update your motherboard, video, sound, and network drivers. Most you can get from the manufacturer's web site, such as ASUS or MSI. The video driver you get from either www.ati.com or www.nvidia.com these days.
If you are overheating, and the system shuts down, I don't believe you would get an error saying a device driver caused a problem. This is likely a software issue. But it wouldn't hurt to check your temps.

try the method where you move the sound card to another slot that was explained in the link i provided.
If it doesnt work try to disable some settings for the card like switching to 2 speakers or some special sound effects or whatever. If it still get the BSOD then try reinstalling the drivers again that came with the card.

Hi,
Your minidump has the bugcheck code d1 and your description is bugcheck code 7f. If your windows crashes with various bugcheck code, this is the sign of hardware error.
One minidump is not enough to determine the culprit. Zip 5 to 6 minidumps and attach the zip files here.
