The original post said you were encountering bluescreens. Is there a filename mentioned on the error at all? It will be found down near the bottom of the bluescreen.
And for "GameMaster" you might want to read up a bit on what the BSOD actually is.
Here's a link...READ THIS
While someone may have solved their particular problem by cleaning out their temp folder, 99% of the time that isn't going to do anything to help. And the information you are quoting is from Windows 98, whereas the poster is running Windows XP, so the whole reboot to MSDOS isn't available as you say.

Your logfile appears to be clean, only one dubious item.
Your logfile shows that you have Viewpoint Manager installed.
Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything bad. It is known to be intrusive, but there is some possibility that it is now being used by those companies to give them info about your habits. It is not considered spyware since this is not clear, but I would not tolerate it on my machine if I didn't install it.
I suggest you remove it. To do so, click on Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs. Click on Viewpoint Manager and click Remove.
With regards to your BSOD problems, I'd first try running a memory test, as these are often RAM related. You can download either the floppy or CD version from http://www.memtest.org/. Boot from the floppy or CD and allow it to scan for a few hours. If you have any memory errors, it will tell you.

You're welcome.
Download one of the pre-built and ISOs from http://www.memtest.org/#downiso. Avoid the .gz and grab either the pre-compiled floppy (probably the easiest to use, if you have a floppy drive and disk handy), or pre-compiled bootable ISO (for creating a CD).
If you chose the bootable floppy version, create a bootable floppy (right click on the floppy drive choose Format, check 'Create an MS-DOS startup disk.' and click OK.
If you chose the ISO version, you'll need to create a bootable CD with that ISO. The exact procedure differs depending on your burning software.
Make sure that the CD or Floppy is set as the first boot device in the BIOS (if it isn't already). Insert the CD or Floppy at system startup. The system should boot from that CD or Floppy. Type mt170.exe and press Enter to load memtest.
