Hey, for over two years my fx 6300 has been clocked to 4 ghz without any problems, but today when I started up my pc it gave me the "Overclocking failed, please press F1 to reconfigure your system". I restarted my pc but the problem is still there, any idea why this is happening? Atm, cpu clocks fluctuate from 3475 to 3800mhz.

you could try resetting the BIOS by turning of the PSU, look for a small battery on your motherboard (round/silver) and remove it, press the power button a couple of times and then put back the battery. That will reset the BIOS settings.

Usually it means that clock is unstable, causing problems with operation.
You can try giving it a little bit more volts to make it stable.

Just not able to do what it's used to. This happens on Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs, which released ~4-5 years ago. The transistors in the processor is wearing out from having so much voltage poured in to move at a much faster speed. Maybe it's just an unlucky CPU in your case.

I'm not sure about that.
You're not really even overclocking, you're using the turbo speed (I still have an FX 6300 that I ran at 4.5 ghz 24/7).
I'm guessing that this specific CPU has only been able to give you two years of service at this speed (which is pretty good).
This could be the end of its life, and time to get a new CPU
