AMD x2 6000+ issues

When i play games on my computer, it gives different colour screens after a while. Some times just completely blue, or black.

I've managed to work out, that my graphics card isn't overheating when i play games like crysis, but i think my CPU is. Could it be the voltages are too high - what voltage should they be at, and how do i check? I don't want it oc-ed, i just want it at stock levels.

Crysis, even f2p mmo's with low requirements. I can't test the GPU in another system, and I don't have another GPU to test in mine .

Okay, CPU temps just before crash, are 60 degrees on both cores. GPU temps are about 54 degrees.

My rig is:
Antec 900 case
AMD 64 X2 6000+ Processor at 3.11 ghz
Two 4850's in CF
4gb ram
gigabit mobo
vista home premium 32 bit

here is some pics of my CPU info stuff

I did something that seemingly stopped the problem. I checked some AMD processor forums, and they said that when i turn on something like crysis, the voltages went too high. Which i saw myself - my voltages were hitting 1.45 volts, and with stock fans, that was pushing the temp too far - my cpu has a limit of 63 degrees. I suppose that's what caused it to crash and do that crap.

So, I looked up on a few sites what the stock voltage of my CPU was supposed to be, and it was about 1.35v. So I set it to that in the mobo, and I've been fine since.

Mmmmhhh..

It started happening again.

But I'm running windows 7 now. Is it likely that Windows 7 was the cause of the problem, due to driver incompatability or anything? Because after i fixed it first time, It didn't happen on vista.

I'll give it a go.

You're right, cool and quiet is a nice idea, but it's just too hot for stock coolers IMO. I mean, you could say get a new cooler/heatsink, but surely the stock cooler should be able to handle it's own tech?
