Ya specs would be nice. You say you get a blue screen, does your sytem hang or reboot after that?

Can you read what the blue screen says? Perhaps it names some DLL or SYS file?

Also do you run PC probe from windows when you don't play games? If that's so I think your CPU is simply overheating, since it'll get even hotter when you play games.
Try to reattach your cooler, add some thermal paste.

What other games do you play? If its graphic intensive that may be why your crashing (heat), but if you have other games that are just as graphic intesive it might just be a bug in the game or something.

Your computer is fine, the game however is not. Boiling Point is the worst coded game in the last 5 years. 2GB systems still skip. 800x600 skips the same as 1600x1300, graphic settings making no matter, and they have not got a fix out yet.

So if I was you I would make sure you either

A) Take the game back and explain even high end systems can't run it collectly.
B) Wait for a bug patch

Boiling Point? I've never heard of it, but you know your processor is running hot, my warning temperature is 70C I think.

No wonder your fps is so high with a system like that

Well i get around 30-45 fps with everything pretty cranked up well it's enough to play the game a bit decent

My PC warns me at 70~C also, I don't like taking it above that. Are you overclocking to 3.6 Mantra? Your getting pretty toasty. Mine only gets close to those temps at High OCs.

Snipe, looking at your specs it doesn't look like it needs upgrades. You got a good processor, good RAM, plenty of space, and an....okay....graphics card. I know this has nothing to do with the topic but I just noticed
