I purchased and installed on Monday, 11/28/2016 a brand new Motherboard, new ram, and i7-6700k processor from Fry's Electronics to my computer. The computer ran fantastically for the previous three days, however tonight about 3 hours ago my computer Blue Screened while playing Arma 3. The blue screen said "CLOCK WATACHDOG TIEMOUT" and restarted the computer where it continued to blue screen. Now when I start the computer it almost always blue screens, with other messages that I can't exactly remember. It has occasionally very slowly and painfully made it back to windows desktop however the one time it made it all the way back to the desktop and looked like it might actually be okay, I started a game up and it crashed again with the watchdog timeout error.
Is there anything that could possibly be causing this besides the processor that I can fix? Or did I just get unlucky and get a bunked processor?
Motherboard: Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon
