I6500 Skylake Processor Random Crashes

[buggzboy]

Can anyone confirm that there is a bug with the 6500 i5 skylake processor that can cause a system to crash when idling or with an excess amount of workload (quite randomly in my opinion).  There is nothing showing in event viewer other than me having to hard reset the computer.  I have read elsewhwere that there was a bug with a different skylake processor but i wasnt sure if maybe my specific one had the bug as well.  When running Prime 95 it doesnt take all that much to get it to crash.  I even have the processor clocked down to 2.8 GHz where normally it is 3.2 normally.  Still crashing.  For the most part i cant get through a movie without it crashing.  The OS is a clean windows 10.  I was having the issue with it crashing while it was installing but i had gotten through the install.  Does anybody have any suggestions that they could throw my way.  I really would like to get this all figured out. Also there is no BSOD

Either you have a defective CPU, board, or RAM by the sound of it (although, afaik faulty RAM usually results in a BSOD). What does a crash look like? Does the screen just go black but all the fans keep spinning? Or does the system shut down? or? 

 

I'd try running memtest just to be safe and to rule out the memory though.

The Ram should be good ran a few tests of x86memtest.  The board should be good i dont have any other processor to test with.  See that was my guess as well..  Lovely.  Just my luck.  Ive never seen a faulty cpu before.  I wouldnt even expect it to boot

A faulty cpu/mobo can manifest in many ways. 

 

What specifically happens when it crashes?

The computer freezes, everything on display stops,sound stops.  Hdd work led stops flashing.  Everything just stops with no response.  Lights and fans inside the machine keep working.
