Hi there,
i am new to Tom'sHardware (new account, but know it for a longer time
). I decided to create a account because i experience a problem i can't solve 
.
I have my "budget game pc" for one year now. I have had a stable overclock from the beginning. but after 2/3 of a year with this stable overclock, one day i booted up my pc and WHAM! BSOD (at windows boot screen).
I tried to look up the error (after setting default bios settings "non-overclock") via "Bluescreenview", but no errors seemed to be saved ??..
The big problem:
After this crash, i cannot overclock my system anymore. It is perfectly stable on default settings. But when i try to overclock even just a bit it will crash!.
I tried a new PSU and tested my RAM (even tried other RAM from a friend), updated BIOS, but nothing seems to work.
I hope i can get some awnsers from this community, I am NOT an experienced overclocker, let that be perfectly clear!! but when i did this overclock when i got my pc, i did my research and tested for stability with prime95 for close to 24 hours.
MY SPECS:
-CPU: Intel i5-3570K;
*CPU cooler: Antec Kuhler H2O 620;
-MOBO: Gigabyte Z77x-D3H (rev 1.0);
-RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP (8GB ddr3) (2x 4GB) (Running: 1600mhz);
-GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 (GHZ edition 2G GDDR5);
-SSD: Samsung 840 (120GB) (for windows and some games i play a lot);
-HDD: 3TB (for data and other games).
I hope someone can give me some pointers for hardware troubleshooting or any other option that will solve my problem.
If there is more information needed please feel free to ask. is for example the information about my old overclock needed??.
SORRY FOR BAD GRAMMAR (im from the Netherlands, so English is not my first language).
