I just overclock my cpu using xmp profile at 4.25ghz @ 1.240volts and ram running at 1666mhz. I ran AIDA64 and did stability testing. It's totally stable within 20+minutes but when it hits the 30 minute mark, it throws a blue screen saying whea error. The temperature doesn't go above 70*C. Any opinion on this matter? Here are my computer specs:

It's a blue screen with a SAD FACE and with a bunch of words saying it has an error. I'm totally new in overclocking. I just watched some videos regarding HASWELL overclocking and followed it but Idk what I am doing wrong. Tried to increase Voltage, it post but when I run stress test AIDA64 for like 5-15 minutes it shows the dreadful blue screen. The temperature is not even that High. 72*C on 100% load / 4.3ghz so I don't know the reason. :/

That's the worst way to do overclock.

If you don't know what you are doing, I suggest you read a little before start to overclock your rig because the settings and results that you get will never be the same that other person with the same components. Whe you get a BSoD (blue screen), you get an error code in the middle on the screen, that code is the way to know that is the exact problem for your overclock.

I overclock through the BIOS not using auto-OC utilities. Anyway, I did some more research and I overclocked my 4770K at 4.1ghz @ 1.23v it's pretty stable so far. Ran Intel Burn Test, 20 runs at Very High. I did that two times consecutively and no BSODs! After that, I ran AIDA64 for like 30+minutes and no BSODs! So I think it's all good now.

That's stable.

I run my stable test for 9+ hours, 20 or 30 minutes aren't enough time for know if your overclock is stable or not.
