Never had the blue screen with vista, not even once, however resets are occurring (i.e. display device stops responding so vista restarts it) and it's bloody annoying but playable since the os keeps it running all is get is momentary blips where my screen become garbled/black. Weirder still in the time this has been happening i can't think of instances alike so no clue what's going on or how to make it happen.
The one positive i have is ccp finally signed up to ms error reporting service a while back and last week i got the option to send one (every other time i just get the check for solution/close message). The data it gathered took over two and a half hours to send so if a gm actually sees this just look for the honking big one 
Interestingly the past few days since the patch it's only occurred twice although it was no where near the frequency you're describing ever, i suspect the alt+tab bug (the one where the gpu stops responding and only displays the desk top, you know, the one the last patch "fixed").
Temperature has been been a long standing issue with eve though, running even will make your gpu 5-10 degrees (highest difference i've actually seen anyone note was 18) but it should still be well within the cards spec, default alarm temp is what 115 on nvidia cards? Anyway eve has always made the gpu run hotter than other games, most notably when there's the least no screen, no throttling, but this is hardly new phenomenon as you can easily see if you go back through the forums seeing as it's been reported repeatedly for over three years. Sure it won't harm a card that being cooled properly however eve is doing (or not doing) something no other game does and always has been but not new so unless 1.1 actually changed something there in the code, nice thought but considering the other underlying problems still i doubt it, then i really don't see how this particular one is related.
Unless eve is finally overheating the cores with it's old code ofc...
