Hey guys, I keep getting random BSODS like system service exception, clock watchdog timeout, driver irql not less or equal, and others that I can't remember.
My specs are:
i5-6600k
ASROCK Z170 EXTREME4
Radeon R9 380x (sapphire nitro)
EVGA SuperNova 550W G2 80+ Gold
Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I 802.11a/b/g/n/ac PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter
Seagate Barracuda 1tb 7200 rpm
Kingston X70NR 128 gb ssd
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400 MHZ 8GB ram

I don't know why this is happening. I've run chkdsk and sfc /scannow but both come up clean. The 6600k is overclocked to 4.4 at 1.296V but it has only recently started giving me BSODS leading me to believe that it isn't the problem. My temperatures also seem fine, and this was a clean install of Windows 8.1 ---> 10. I've linked the Minidump files. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2sc0ycDIEFodFFJNDdFMVdBZGs/view?usp=sharing

Thanks guys!
 
Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help in solving the issue.
- Start by un-overclocking your CPU just to make sure that it's not the device that's causing the BSOD's. Observe your PC with it's not overclocked.
- Once done, next is to run Windows Update and install all the updates available.
- Next is to do a clean install of the graphics card driver.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the AMD graphics driver.
- Once done, do also uninstall anything related to AMD from Programs and Features.
- Download and install the latest driver from AMD support site.
- Here's the link: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
- Reboot your PC once the driver has been installed.
- And lastly, do install the latest BIOS version from Asrocks support site.
