I'm a complete newbie to overclocking but I would like to learn how to do it. I don't really need it but I'm the kind of guy that likes pushing things to the limit and it helps whenever I do play cpu intensive games once in a while. I have a FX-6300 overclocked to 4.2 ghz with a 212 evo keeping it cool. I went into the bios and left all the voltages and stuff at normal. I changed my ram so it's at 1600mhz instead of 1333. I overclocked it by changing my CPU ratio to 21. I left the fsb at 200 and turned off turbo as well. I turned off all power saving features and I'm not exactly sure what to do now. Everything was perfectly fine when I overclocked to 4.0 last night by doing the same thing but when I try and get it to 4.2 I get various errors.
My build is here and I have the latest bios: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/b/GSE
These are some CPU-Z pictures with everything at idle
When I run cinebench everything is fine
This picture is a before pic I took before running Prime95. Prime95 ran for maybe 10 minutes and then I bsod.
Here's a pic of the errors I got.
