Hello Guys!!!..
I've been experiencing the BSOD since a week.. i notices that the problem is becauz of the overclocking i had done. mine is an FX8150 with an h60 corsair overclocked to 4.0ghz whick is quite normal i guess. But under heavy load or when times like when i play CS GO( it uses too much memory usually) when the map is loading, the BSOD appears..it is so annoying. temperatures are idle around 30c to 55c... But i dont understan dwhy this BSOD appears..???. All drivers are up to date and the RAm is vengeance 2x4gb 1600mhz.... Any Suggestions on how to prevent this...????
 
Solution
+1 unstable overclock,

get the voltage to 1.3 and do a prime test on it.
If temps stay under 65 degree and no errors, it was because of the voltage.

Max recommended voltage is 1.4 so you still have some room to test.

The Cpu CORE Voltage is at 1.25v do you think i should increase it??... If yes how much should i do it to?? Just note this....my Gigabyte motherboard lets me increase my voltage only through a sequence.like 1.250 and the next step is at 1.300....and so on.... thnq in advance

Another Question on this is... how much is Safe for my FX8150 to overclock, i mean what Temps are Safe enough For Stable Overclocking. If i could overclock it till 4.6 at 1.32v at 60c is it alright.. i probably might use this FX for an YEAR from now on..????
