CPU: i7-6600K, 3.5 GHz, OC 4.7GHz (stable, minor temp increase under full load compared to no OC, ~8C increase comparatively)
Cooler: Water-cooled, Corsair H100i
GPU: MSI NVIDIA GTX 970 Gaming Twin Frozr 4GB (refurbished, no current OC)
All components are only a month old.
I built my PC only a month ago, and when it started, idle temperatures were approximately 27/28 degrees Celsius. This persisted throughout the month until, without warning today, while running Overwatch, my computer gave me a Win10 bluescreen due to a CPU hardware error. I allowed it to restart my PC, confused, especially on top of having seen my GPU jump from the regular 63/64 to a solid 71 during play (no CPU temp display unfortunately). Now that my PC had restarted, I checked Corsair Link 4 to see my CPU temps and they had jumped up quite a bit to an idle 34/35, sometimes even temporarily jumping to over 40. On occasion, they even show 60 for a brief moment, and I'm worried for the state of my PC. I don't see any Task Manager abnormalities (about 5-6% usage constant), nor does Corsair Link show any consistent load increase, except on occasion (wavy between 5-15%, but no obvious effect on CPU temps). My cooler, when my computer crashed, was incredibly hot, even though Overwatch only ever took it to approx. 60-65C every other time I've played.
It's really worrying.
Thanks,

EDIT: I've just seen a massive increase in temperature to approximately 55C and a constant 25% load on the CPU, and it's apparently something called "Service Host: Unistack Service Group (4)". It seems to keep kicking my temperatures up to 45-50C, and using up 5-6% of my CPU, along with many other programs suddenly using approx 1-2% for no obvious reason. Load is still 25%, and that's about the CPU usage in Task managed too. Unistack is always at the top, though, followed by Corsair Link. It's very disconcerting. The CPU also keeps jumping to its maximum OC of 4.7GHz as mentioned above, and the load is wavering up to 40% at times, consistent 30% often. I think it's getting worse.
