Random BSoD on a newly Built Computer

Hello I've just built my gaming/productivity computer and installed Windows 8.1 on it. Zit worked great for the first 5 days but it would occasionally freeze while playing games (only game I've played so far is a game called Black Desert Online) the freezes would lock up the entire computer and eventually lead to a BSoD.

Thinking that it was hardware I've gone through and tested each of my computer's components:

I7 6700k
J.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 16gb
Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1
Gigabyte Gaming 7
WD 1tb HDD
Samsung 850evo 250gb
EVGA 550 Gold certified PSU
BeQuite Dark Rock CPU cooler

As an attempt to fix these issues I've done a fresh install of Windows 7 professional 64bit. But after once again installing some needed drivers from the included CDs and updating Norton and re-downloading Black Dessert Online and playing for 4-5hrs to break it in the computer would have a variety of BSoD(s) durring shutdown again.

If anyone could provide any guidance it would be much appreciated I'm not sure what I should do.
