Hey guys, so its been 2 years since I built my first ever rig. And thought that I should try my luck at overclocking just for the heck of it. Now I've gotten my self into a really scary situation. I was overclocking my cpu using the OC tweaker in the z77 extreme4 mobo by changing multiplier and the offset/turbo core values. I got to 4.4 from the stock 3.4 ghz without it crashing (tested through prime95 and real temp for about 10 mins each). At this point I hadn't even touched any of the voltage settings (they were still at 0.05 and 0.04v) and the voltage in cpu-z was around 1.24-5v. So I tried for 4.5. The next time I turned it on I got a bsod after logging in and reverted it back to 4.4. Bsod again. Went down to 4.0. Bsod again. Reset bios to default. Still got a bsod. I can get into the computer but its extremely slow and bsods within a minute. I can also get into safe mode without any trouble.
These are the things I've tried so far:
Last known good configuration
system restore
Clear cmos
Chkdsk
None of these have worked.
Please guys, I'm kinda freaking out
