BSOD - A clock interval was not received by a secondary processor within an allocated time

[TheFrisk]

Blue screened while playing Deus Ex, and that was the message I received for it.
Prior to it happening, the game started to dip massively in framerate until it was a slideshow, while the audio started to stutter and crackle until the whole thing froze up and gave me the blue screen.
I've gotten this a few times with some other games (Borderlands, Just Cause 2, GTA IV), no clue what the hell causes this, but I'm hoping somebody here may know a solution.

My specs:

Read the sticky, mentioned I should include the Minidump, so here that is in case it helps

Overheating probably as if those are your idle temperatures.
Could also be bad overclock as i got exactly the same bluescreen with bad overclock on my I7 920 just raised Vcore by 0.01V and it was sorted.

I doubt it's an overheating issue, as that's around the hottest it gets for my motherboard and processor (graphics card can hit the 70's during some games).

I've never overclocked anything, although I'm unsure if this came overclocked, so is there a way to check what it should be at and what it is currently at?

Only four things are generally related to this problem:

1) Bad CPU.
2) Overclock failing.
3) Bad RAM
4) Bad motherboard/Improper motherboard settings.

I haven't overclocked, so I'm guessing it's not that.
I'm guessing it's my ram then. Just checked, and my task manager and the System pane (from right clicking my computer) say I only have 10gb, yet I should have 12? Dumb question, but if a stick died, would it be causing this problem?

Bad RAM can cause all sorts of bizarre problems. I'd pull out every RAM stick and test one at a time with memtest86.

RAM can be bad in very strange ways, such as it will work fine by itself, but the second that you introduce another RAM stick into the mix, it fails and causes problems.

Is there any other way than memtest?
I ask that only because the site says I need to burn it to a disc, and I currently am without a disc drive.

You can use it on USB stick too, just download the one that is meant for USB stick and reboot computer and choose boot device from boot menu.

Boot menu usually has it's own key to open it which you should see during POST just like you see the key used to open BIOS.
