Iv'e recieved a BSOD message everytime I play games now (Higher demanding games), after 1-2 hours of gameplay my computer just decides to crash on me. This has been going on for a while but not as frequently as today. I've now tried to read through various threads but nothing seems to have an accurate solution, starting to get worried :(

I have taken 3 pictures of the messages if they help.

windows 7 has no official driver support for intel 6th gen and later CPU's and MS has stopped making security updates for these CPU's

people have had success using windows 7 with CPU's like this but because there are no official drivers it may cause problems like this

This BSOD means that an expected clock interrupt on a secondary processor, in a multi-processor system, was not received within the allocated interval. BSOD error code 0x00000101 may also show "CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT" on the same blue screen.

That is very wierd, why wouldn't my retailer tell me something so critical? On that note should I try install a later version of Windows 10 etc? hypothetically, If I install a later Windows version will my processor automatically update the drivers or do I have to install them manually?
