Hi! My PC specs are as follows:
AMD x4 860k and I overclocked it to 4.6ghz and ~1.46 volts (when problem started)
AsRock FM2+ A88X Pro3+ mobo
1x8gb of Team Elite memory
Seagate Barracuda 2tb HDD and Seagate Momentus 4600 250gb hdd
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
EVGA Superclocked GTX 960 4GB

Here's the problem: I was already overclocked to 4.4ghz and was running fine. Temps were nominal and I had no problems but I wanted to see if I could get a little bit more out of it. So I upped the voltage a slight bit and upped the frequency to 4.6ghz. However, after the computer rebooted I got the BSOD. So when I did a hard reset to go into the BIOS, the BIOS would freeze and after 30 minutes, nothing. I honestly have no idea what to do, and any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure what the best solution to this would be, but if I were in this situation I'd probably try a CMOS reset.... It will reset your bios settings, including your botched overclocking attempt..
