Windows 10: My new PC keeps closing programs and bluescreening after a couple hours of running smoothly

Like title says I just made a new pc and it runs great until all of a sudden whatever game I am playing crashes then programs like discord, steam etc start restarting or opening thenselves then it eventually bluescreens in the next 20 minutes or so, is there a way to see a crash log after a bluescreen or something so I can find out why this is happening?

New Windows 10 PC Bluescreens when idle

I have a brand new build, Windows 10, Asus Z170-P motherboard, 12gb corsair ddr4, GTX 950, 1TB hard drive. Whenever I leave it idle it seems to bluescreen. This can happen after 20-30 minutes or not for an hour or more. Usually when I'm using it actively playing games it is fine. The bluescreen bug check string is various things from MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, BAD_POOL_HEADER and a few others.

The minidumps for all the recent bluescreens are here:

Things I've tried:

• Updating all my drivers, particularly the asus chipset drivers
  
• Running Memtest overnight (7 passes in 9 hours, no issues found)
  
• chkdisk (via windows 10 tools)
  

I really am stuck now. I took it back to the store where I bought all the parts and they said they tested it and it's all fine (they updated the chipset drivers again even though I had already done so) and for them it was running for 2 hours with no bluescreen.

If anyone has suggestions I'd be really grateful because I've run out of ideas!
