Blue Screen While Performing CPU Intensive tasks

Hey everyone! Lately I've been having a persisting problem with my computer. I edit films and whenever i'm in the rendering stages, or even just idle in Adobe Premiere my computer crashes. I get a blue screen error with either the message WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR or CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT. I'm not sure if it's an over heating issue or not because my computer has fairly decent cooling, but it only happens when I do something CPU Intensive, it quite obnoxious. Here are some specifications from my computer if it helps!

Are you over clocking your computer? Many times these are related to hardware or driver errors. Have you used any software to monitor your temps?

Download the following and run

I went ahead and created a Gyazo screenshot for you! https://gyazo.com/b3b371ae6631382296069365117e7fd0
And I believe I also have overclock disabled in my UEFI Settings but I'll double check.

Did you only post the one screen? Its best if you post the full report. Also you may want to download and run Speedfan or similar to monitor your temps

Speedfan is next to useless on modern hardware. It often returns flaky info. Since you have an asrock board, there is purpose designed monitoring software for your mb. Go to the asrock support page and download/install the A-tuning utility. Once you have that installed, run something that will stress the system ie prime95, intel burn test or the intel extreme tuning utility [this one will also monitor temps] Post your temps while idle and while running the stress test. In addition, post your voltages; specifically the 12V, 5V, and 3.3V values. Here is a link to the support page for your mb;

Also, if its any help, I had someone tell me that my CPU was having timing issues between the cores and the threads and that it was a driver issue.

You have your answer; it is overheating. While you may have other problems, you need to fix the overheating issue then see if you still have problems. I see from the asrock utility, you have your cpu fan plugged into cpu2 fan header. Why? In addition, the cpu fan does not seem to be increasing very much. Only going from 1200rpm to 1420 under full load.
How long did you run the stress test before taking the screenshot? If it was only a few seconds, the fan may not have come up to full rpm.

That could be caused by your chipset driver, you might want to update it or reinstall it. Also that software is not showing your chassis fan speeds, are they hooked up and working?
If it was me I would plug the CPU fan into #1 instead of #2. Also 81C is too hot should max out around 75C, what heat sink are you using and how long have you had the computer, check for dust buildup.
