[SOLVED] Acer 4000 - Random BSOD Reboot - Overheat?

Just formatted, reinstalled everything. The laptop after sitting there a while, i get a BSOD, its so fast i cant read the error, and it reboots, scans the disk for errors, and goes back to windows like nothing happened. another few minutes and it BSOD and reboots.

Thing is it didnt do this before i formatted, so i wonder if it's a heat thing, or a missing driver. Im lost though, any ideas?
