Okay so I would greatly appreciate if anyone can give me in detail what should be enabled and disabled in my bios for OCing because everytime I apply a voltage change to my cpu it shows up different in amd overdrive and just crashes.....

Here's an analogy

Overclocking is driving a car with a manual transmission.

AMD overdirve is that fun little 'slap-stick' fake shifting they give you on fancy automatics so you can feel like it's a real car.

If you want to use AMD overdrive, all OC settings should be at default, the software will change them.

If you want to learn how to overclock, there are some wonderful guides but a google away.

EDIT: I forgot to mention you'll have problems if you try to use a combination of both.

I've overclocked without an aftermarket cooler. It can be done, but you won't get very far. Keeping to the car analogy, it's like trying to street race with doughnuts instead of full size tires.
