I'd like to preface this by saying this problem started happening after the fan for my heatsink was going bad and making my computer overheat. As a result, I removed the CPU fan and I am using my computer without it. For those wondering, I am waiting for 8/20/2020 to order a new heatsink and fan as that is when it comes back in stock. I do not plan on using my computer without a CPU fan for my heatsink.
I also do not have any OC at all on neither my CPU nor my GPU.
Some things I've tried:
I typically BSOD mainly while playing games.
For example, I am playing Remnant: From the Ashes and receiving a CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT at:
CPU: 62°C
GPU: 66°C

Some things I've tried:
- running a malwarebytes for any potential viruses
- cleared CMOS on my motherboard in order to reset BIOS to default settings (I am already on the most up-to-date BIOS as of 8/19/2020)
- reinstalling Windows 10 to potentially fix any corrupt system files
- installed latest drivers for GPU
- reinstalled drivers for my Maximus Hero VIII motherboard, SATA, Chipset etc.
- ran a Windows Memory Diagnostic test showing no errors
