Recently started streaming my gaming content as a result i decided to upgrade my CPU to the i7 8700. However I'm encountering Multiple BSODs

Including:
Driver_Irql_less_or_not_equal_error (The latest one happened after about an hour of running pc, literally just sitting in discord and talking).
Kernel_Trap_error
and some others, these are the main ones though.

I've fresh installed windows, updated all my drivers and to no avail.

Also tried to run the driver verifier ended up creating some logs but unsure how to read etc.


Specs
i7 8700
GPU Nvidia 1660
16gb DDR4
PSU 550w

If someone could read the dumps and help me out I would gladly appreciate as my streams have been ending early due to these frequent crashes.

so if its crashing without dumps, it could be hardware,.. well, whea errors are a hint too.

What make/model PSU?
Any other parts? what ssd/hdd do you have?
Do you need to be doing anything in particular to have it crash? does it happen in games?
