Right I had a bluescreen problem, let me grab you a link to my thread. Lots of great help there.

Was there an error code on the BSOD?
How Do I Use Driver Sweeper?
Step 1: Download and install Driver Sweeper.
Step 2: Download the latest ATi Drivers from the AMD website and save them to a memorable location as we sill need these later.
Step 3: Uninstall the current drivers through either 'Add/Remove Programs' or 'Programs and Features' depending on your operating system. You will need to select the 'ATi Catalyst Install Manager' from the remove programs screen and choose the 'Express Uninstall ALL ATI Software' option. Follow all steps until uninstall is completed.
Step 4: Reboot the PC and enter safemode by repeatedly tapping F8 quickly during the transition from POST to Windows boot.
Step 5: Run Driver Sweeper and check the boxes for 'ATi -Display' and 'nVidia - Display' -
Click the 'Analyse' button.
Step 6: You will then see a list of driver remnants on your system, click the 'Clean' button to remove them all.
Wait for the cleaning process to complete and exit Driver Sweeper.
Step 7: Reboot into normal mode and begin installing the drivers you downloaded earlier.
Step 8: Complete the installation, reboot and enjoy.
could be a lack of sufficient power getting to the video card. I have had that issue in the past that was causing BSOD in only some games at random intervals.
They put it into heavy testing, my cpu went up to 90c which is not enough to overheat,

90c may not be overheating the processor, but it IS a serious problem.
Not only are you baking the processor, but everything close to it. Most I.T. people don't like anything going over 60C.
Tym is probably on the right track, but also check the video card's temperature. Due to the symptoms, it's almost certainly a video system issue, be it driver or temps.
90 degrees C is a problem whether or not it still runs. It has been shown that for every 10 degrees C you can drop the operating temp of any electronic component you will effectively increase said parts life span by approximately 50%.
For a NON-OC cpu 90C during bench is fine.Considering that Intel states a max operating temp of 67.4C, he's lucky the processor still works, as are you. It doesn't matter if it's overclocked or not. Yes, you can overheat it for short periods, they engineer some overhead, but not nearly 50% worth! Yes, some will take that strain and keep going, others will not. Like overclocking, some can take more abuse than others.
my 5ghz 2500k hits 93-95 C on IBT extreme mode. I left it like this for 2 days, no problems. still rocking it years later.

Also, only 2 years?
That may be fine for a gaming system*, and while I don't know who your customers are, mine get straight up ANGRY when a a system lasts only 2 years.
*It's completely unnecessary, not to mention bad monetarily and environmentally.
The environment can take it just fine..Well, it's safe to say you don't run a business, much less a corporation.
Monetarily, it's around 500-700 each refresh. spread over 2 years, that's really small....
So did the blue screen get resolved?

$350 per year, per computer. For an office with 70 computers, that's $25,000 per year, on top of maintenance, data destruction and software conflict resolution, which will easily double that number before you add in down time. To what end? So you can open Internet Explorer 1 second faster?
As for the environmental impact, I disagree. We dump our e-waste in China, Ghana, and Nigeria, only a fraction actually gets recycled. Our glaciers are melting at insane rates, our oceans are emptying out... Our planet has been pillaged enough.
I don't think it's the PSU, a 750W is massive overkill for a 7850 so it's not even going to be stressing the PSU.
