Question PC BSOD when hitting high CPU usage in launching Minecraft.

[decrypto]

My main problem is that this has been happening pretty much on and off for a while now, whenever I tend to try and launch Minecraft my computer reaches around 100% CPU usage and then freezes and BSODs. I get the error Clock_Watchdog_Timeout or something like that and I don't know why it's even happening. This has really only happened with MC and it's worked fine before.

Specs:
OS: Windows 10
GPU: Strix 980
CPU: i7-4790k
PSU: Corsair CX-650W
Motherboard: MAXIMUS VII HERO
RAM: 32GB 1600HZ
