I've been having issues with my computer for a month or so now. It would click and freeze and sometimes BSOD and crash. Every time after this occurred, it would go to a black screen on boot that told me that it was unable to detect boot media, and that I should insert boot media and press a button. I assumed that the problem was a faulty hard drive, and just recently replaced it.
It took about a day for the new hard drive to also start clicking and the computer to start crashing. Since I still had the option to return the hard drive, I just did that yesterday and got an exact exchange for the same hard drive. Today, it crashed and gave me a stop 0x00000f4 error and crashed. It successfully booted after restarting, but I'd like to go ahead and find the root of this issue if possible, so I can fix it.

I just disabled overclocking from the BIOS screen, haven't had crashes since, but I would be surprised if that was the cause.
If there's any more information needed, please let me know.
Thanks.
