Question / Help OBS Bluescreening all of a sudden.

Title says it all really. I've been using OBS for quite a while now and recently updated OBS and had a few windows updates too and now all of a sudden my OBS is bluescreening as soon as I hit "Start Stream".

PC Specs :
CPU - Intel i7 7820x
MOBO : MSI X299 Raider
Ram - 32 GB Corsair 3200Mhz
GPU - MSI NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti 11GB

The error code I get is "UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" Event log is showing it as 0x0124 which apparently is the cores on the processor highlighting an issue. So I dropped OBS down to running on 1 core that didn't fix it. I've updated my BIOS. I've also tried to turn the cores off on the games I'm running too but that hasn't fixed it.

No overclocking (OC Genie Disabled)
No memory overclock (XMP Disabled)
Checked BIOS no overclock running stock at 3.6Ghz.

Hopefully someone has a rough idea what could be causing it as I've mentioned before it's only just started happening recently. I've streamed PUBG, WOW etc before working completly fine.

Thanks.

That's a hardware issue, if you aren't overclocking then either your CPU, RAM or mainboard is faulty.

I've just ran a Prime95 Torture test for 2hours and have had no errors for anything to do with my hardware. I've just currently downloaded Xsplit to see if I could stream using that without a bluescreen and it works perfectly fine. I'm totally confused why OBS is causing my BSOD...

It seems like motherboards are turbo boosting to unstable frequencies with this CPU.
