I've had this computer a couple months with no issues and now I'm getting random restarts that occasionally give me a BSOD with a whea uncorrectable error. On one of these restarts it told me the overclock failed. It was overclocked by the company that built it so I'm not sure how it was done or how to fix it if that's the problem. Its a 4930 running at 4.46ghz. It usually only restarts during gaming but has happened fairly often. I'm running windows 8 if that makes any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
My cpu is stuck at 4.46 Ghz and im getting random restarts with occasional whea uncorrectable error

Hello,
if your PC is only 2-3 months old and if it came overclocked then you should contact the company you bought it from and explain the issue. The overclock is obviously unstable and/or maybe the cooling isn't adequate for the task.
If you absolutely do not want to contact the seller for whatever reason then the easiest solution is to find the Motehrboard manual, find the section where it says "CMOS reset" and follow the intructions how to reset it. Resetting CMOS will put default BIOS settings on and will revert the overclock. This however involves opening the PC case and moving a jumper to a certain position for a few seconds and returning it to its original position.
But again - contact the seller.

configure your overclocking settings by navigating through bios setup utility and put it back to normal or just press f10 to load default setup values
and also disable automatic restart so you will be able to find whats causing the restart it might be a hardware problem

The cpu temps never get over 50c so I think the cooling is enough. I will contact the seller tomorrow I just don't understand why it was stable before and not now. Also the clock didn't always sit at max, the multiplyer fluxuated from x12 to x45 but now is stuck at x45. Thanks for the suggestions!
