Anything over 4.3ghz makes my pc blue screen and crash... What would be the main cause of that?

27% Overclock / 127 BCLK Frequency / 1.225 Volts / 125mhz CPU Strap

All my overclocking is in AISuite III. I'm not exactly a pro or knowledgeable (enough) about overclocking to really tell whats going on here. Some tips would be nice, thanks.

i7 4770k
ASUS z97 Pro Motherboard
H100i pull
16gb ram
760 4gb SC
Windows 8.1

Thanks everyone

Start by putting everything back to stock. Overclock only in the BIOS. Also, don't adjust the BCLK. Only adjust the CPU ratio.

I'm not an expert on OC, but your voltage seems a bit low for 4.3. As already said, don't use programs as they will only estimate what needs to be done, while each CPU and MB is different. You should be increasing the multiplier in BIOS and keeping voltage as low as possible without crashing.
