One core down??

[Beeeyeee]

Hey so i'm in the process of building a new PC. 
I've put everything together outside of the case to make sure its all working. Looks like it does! Here's the Partslist: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xgrf9W (6600k, 16GB RAM, big enough CPU cooler @60C max.)

So I install a few benchmarking programs and get to work... specifically CAM, CPU-z, and Prime95 for CPU overclocking.

 

So I tested everything briefly after installing Windows 10, it worked perfectly fine, recognized all the components, each core, frequency, and everything. I updated all the drivers and OS and everything I can. So I fired up CAM for monitoring temps, as well as Realtemp to verify. also fired up Prime95 and after about a minute of stress testing, one thread simply stops. on CAM it shows the core is working, its simply not being applied a load.. what the heck is going on?? I've tried all I can.

Have you turned your computer on and off again? And don't use prime 95 as it creates a very unrealistic amount of load on the CPU, does your CPU core work on other programs?

Yeah I've even cleared the CMOS and reapplied the overclock and everything. I use Prime95 since its free, easy, and very fast and consistent for my OC's. The only other thing thats open is CAM. its a brand new installation so nothing else really CAN run you know? this is so weird. I've never seen anything like it.

Any other stress programs? I don't want to buy Aida64 or I would.

there is a ASUS ROG Overclock CPU benchmark software (forgot the name)
