gfx card produces a lot more heat under load than the processor so you're going to get a bsod once the heat hits. also we don't know if his computer is under load or not. my gfx card runs at about 38c, but jumps to about 55c during HON and like 70c during borderlands.
none of which are particually demanding on anything

i don't recommend leaving the stress test on for too long, just for a bit to see how high on average your computer temp hits.
leaving it on for too long will damage your computer since it'll have everything running 90-100% (which is never usually happening)
but if the temperature is high, either new heat sink or thermal compound on your old heat sink. dust could also be clogging things up making it more hot than needed, and if that's the case, then grab a can of compressed air and give it a good spray (outside of course =) ... don't be like me =( )
