Not only the spec but, the error message from your BSOD can tell what is the cause ...

I'm not exactly sure about MSI boards but that temp doesnt seem right to me, also what is the actual recommended latency timings for your ram? Also do you have your vdimm (vdimm/vddr = Supply voltage to the memory on your motherboard) frequency higher then what your default should be at?

Also here is a link that will be able to explain more about blue screen of death, the codes and what you can do about fixing them http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1647

Try running chkdsk, go to start, then to the run and type in without quotes 'chkdsk /f'. even if this doesnt help, it could solve some stability problems you might have when your installing stuff or copying files.

We can't help you if we don't know the exact error code that you got in that blue screen

Typically, a BSOD (blue screen of death) means that something very serious happened and that the OS had to stop whatever it was doing (this is similar to kernel panic in Linux). Typical reasons for a BSOD are faulty hardware (usually RAM) or a bad driver

What were you doing when the blue screen appeared?
