Right here we go....
1) Download speedfan off here
This will display the temperature of your CPU so you can check to see if it is overheating or not.
Install and open Speedfan.
2) Download Prime95 from here
This will put a rather large amount of data to be processed to the CPU to raise it to the max temperature.
Unzip Prime95 to your desktop and run the prime95.exe. Select Blend as this will test your RAM and CPU. Press OK.
Now check on Speedfan and see what the CPU/Core0/Temp1/Temp2 temperatures are. You may not have some of them, and you may have some temperatures that are really wrong such as -127deg C or 400deg C, you can ignore those, they are wrong.
Leave that running for a good 2 hours or so.
3) In speedfan check your harddrives SMART status
If you have SMART enabled in the BIOS, go to the SMART tab in Speedfan and select your hard drive from the top box. The fitness and performance bars should be near full.
4) Download ATiTool from here
Install and run ATiTool. It doesn't matter if you have an Nvidia card, ATiTool works perfectly fine.
Press the Scan for Artifacts button. Leave this going for a couple of hours, not at the same time as Prime95. Make sure the temperature doesn't go above 100deg C. Also in the artifact scanning window, make sure the errors at the bottom doesn't keep resetting, if it does there is a problem with your graphics card. Also do not run FRAPS and ATiTool at the same time, ATiTool will incorrectly say you have artifacts.
5) Download DriverCleaner Pro from here
Install it. Go to Add and Remove Programs and uninstall your graphics card drivers. Reboot in to Safe Mode by bashing the F8 before the XP loading screen comes up. Run Driver Cleaner and select the Nvidia drivers for cleaning. Reboot in to safe mode again and clean the nvidia drivers. Reboot back to Windows in normal mode and....
6) Download latest Nvidia drivers from here
Install the drivers and reboot.

Re: bsod overclockers shit
Not quite. Forget about it.
What does the CPU temp say? Or post a screen, that will be more helpful.

Yeah but what does it say next to CPU? Take a screenshot and post it here, will make it a lot easier as it will be different on different motherboards.
