Can my CPU be causing BSOD?

My computer started throwing blue screens which are supposedly caused by driver errors. I re-installed windows and the problem still persists and i am getting constant blue screens with only windows drivers installed. I have removed my gpu and wifi card and the problem still persisted. I have changed my HDD and tested my psu which voltage is fine. Temperatures are fine as i have a liquid cooler which keeps the temps at around 20. I have swapped out the motherboard and the problem still persists. I have also tried two different sets of ram in each motherboard. The only other hardware that it could be is the cpu. Could it be something wrong with the cpu cache? I can not access the computer to get crash reports because the system crashes as soon as it boots.

Cpu- i5 6600K (not overclocked)
Mobo- Asus Ranger viii or Gigabyte h110m-s2h
Ram - Gskill Trident z ddr4 or Corsair vengeance ddr4
Gpu- R9 380
Hdd- Wd blue
Psu- Corsair RM650x
 
Solution
Bent pins in the MB socket are all too common on Intel MBs. Inspect the socket pins with a magnifier. If you find bent pins the MB warranty is void but you can try to carefully bend them back with a toothpick. RMA the CPU if no bent pins found. If unsure post a pic as clear as possible for analysis.

Sounds like a cpu or motherboard problem. If theres one pin not connecting right out of the 1151 pins, it can cause problems. Try RMAing you CPU and if you still get problems, RMA your motherboard. I believe the new cpu will fix it but theres a possibility of it not. But it is definitely either motherboard or cpu

- there are hundreds of bugchecks codes, and each bugcheck has different error codes.
- Also, the default windows drivers are only the generic drivers that OEM give to microsoft so you can boot and update the drivers. You will want to install your motherboard updates to the BIOS and all drivers.
- also need the version of windows, each version has different bugs.

best to put the windows memory .dmp files from c:\windows\minidump directory on to a public server like microsoft onedrive, share the files for public access and post a link.

any bugcheck in memoy management or one that shows a error 0xc0000005 you will want to run memtest86 to test your BIOS memory settings and memory hardware.
