cpu is unlikely, assuming your system is stable without core running.
It's likely if it's excessively overclocked. Often it's perfectly stable for gaming (since modern games don't actually use the CPU much), but as soon as you run something that pushes the CPU 100%, it either overheats or undervolts.

This is likely a hardware error. Bitcoin Core is very hardware intensive so it could be causing the crashes from working the hardware to hard. The only solution is to either upgrade your hardware or switch to use another wallet.

These crashes likely indicate that you have some faulty hardware.
it is 99% a hardware error, and from my past experiences, it has to do with the system somehow mismanaging power somewhere. based on what i know about bitcoin core, which takes up a fair bit of memory (ram) try running memtest (http://www.memtest86.com/) for an hour or two, every test. if something comes up, its a memory issue and you should get those swapped out asap. if your system is stable without bitcoin core running, try getting hard disk sentinel (http://www.hdsentinel.com/) on the off chance it might be a hd related issue. if it isnt either of those, its either a dying cpu or insufficient power supply. (cpu is unlikely, assuming your system is stable without core running. more likely, it might be the psu doesnt have the wattage to support your system with core running. however, its probably a memory error)

cant really suggest much else without knowing other pc specs / recent activity / changes though.

You can also try checking to make sure all your drivers are up to date - see Device Manager, assuming this is Windows.  Likewise, it doesn't hurt to use chkdsk to see if it is a hard drive issue and you can try running Windows Memory Diagnostic. 

These should at least help you try to find anywhere you are having the issue.

So I recently downloaded Bitcoin Core (I am new to Bitcoin) and bought some bitcoin from VirWoX.
However, when Bitcoin Core reaches about one year behind on reindexing blocks, my PC bluescreens and shows "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" before restarting.
When I try to launch Bitcoin Core again it says blocks are corrupted, and starts reindexing from 6 years behind. This has happened about 3 times.
I already got an email from VirWoX saying the Bitcoin have been transferred to my address.

Has anybody ever had this issue before or know what is causing it?
Is there any way of recovering the Bitcoins?

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
