Turns out the problem was a "TPU" switch on my motherboard that was switched on for some reason which is supposed to turn on some sort of automatic overclocking. My cpu couldn't handle it hence the bsod's.
Thank you so much for the replies.
Glad to read that its sorted.

Please include screen shots for hwinfo64 with tpu off > tpu on > BIOS reset
I already did the tests yesterday with prime95 and speccy. With TPU on bsod after 2-3 minutes with temperatures around 75-80c. Clock speed was 4.5GHz. I have a custom cooler but even then the whole case was sizzling hot. With TPU off I stopped the test after half an hour. Temperatures were around 55c with speed at stock 3.4GHz.
When the log collector was ran it displayed: CurrentClockSpeed : 3401
Wasn't that before TPU switch findings?
There is little if any info on the web on TPU and BSOD.
If possible please post images of cpuz and hwinfo with off, on, and BIOS reset.
