WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR on adaptive mode

Hi, recently upgraded to the 4690k and just bought the Deepcool Assassin cooler. So I wanted to overclock and followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBfXruwe8w4

I did everything linus said and got my CPU at 4.6Ghz at 1.250v. Stress tested it using Aida64 trial version and it didn't cause any crashes with max temps at 73C (Using HWMonitor and CPU-Z for monitoring). At the last part he tells me to change it from manual to adaptive setting. I set it to adaptive mode and dial in 0.050 in the CPU core voltage offset. Restarted and was greeted with the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD before loading into windows 8.1 It is to my understanding that this means that there isn't enough power being given to the CPU, or at least that's what googling it has taught me.

So my question is, how do I fix this? It runs perfectly fine on manual mode but I think that would take a toll on the power bill? Also, this is my first time overclocking so go easy on me. :)

System Specs:
CPU: i5 4690k
GPU: MSI GTX 970
Mobo: Asus Z97 Sabertooth Mark 1
RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu 1600Mhz
PSU: Seasonic S12II 620w 80+ Bronze

Tell me if I missed anything :D
 
Solution
SpeedStep should be in the bios under the CPU OC settings.

No, that shouldn't be a big deal. Just make sure your voltages and temps don't get too high when stress testing.

I never, ever use adaptive voltage. I set a manual voltage and enable SpeedStep, so that when the CPU isn't in use, the frequency and voltage throttle, and when necessary, the frequency and voltage ramp up to what I set them to.

You won't rack up too much on the electrical bill this way.

So I changed the CPU core voltage offset to 0.150 and everything seems to be running fine after benchmarking in cinebench and some gaming. Now my problem is whether setting 0.150 as my offset is in any way a bad idea?

The overclock seems to be successful. I haven't had a BSOD so far. Temps are within my comfort zone too. I tried looking for SpeedStep in the UEFI but I don't think they have them in Asus motherboards. Or maybe I didn't look well enough. Anyways, thank you for your insight! :D

Under "Ai Tweaker," go into the "Internal CPU Power Management" menu.

And no problem, friend. Best regards.
