my pc crashed and was frozen on a black screen making a certain sound that was continuous that wasnt coming out of the mini speaker... does this mean i need to increase the voltage? Right now my cpu voltage is at 1.2 oc to 4.0ghz

inside the bios i manually put the voltage to 1.229 and on the left of that it shows another voltage number which is at 1.240 which changes automatically everything i change the voltage on the right. what does this mean?
 
It is proably what the CPU is using at that moment. generally unless you tell it to, it will lower the voltage when it does not need all of it. there are options to force constant voltage I believe, but unless the system refuses top remain stable, I would not use it. grab CPUZ and run a benchmark, what does it say the voltage goes to? at full load it should hit the voltage you set.
 


once again just keep pushing up the clocks after a small voltage increase. based on how much voltage you needed to get to 4 GHz you might need a little over 1.3V, but I would work up from 1.235v

i got the bsod and it said "a clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval" and this happend when i was running prime95 for like 10 min or less at 4.4ghz and voltage was 1.255. and so i put it back to 4ghz at 1.234v and ran prime95 for 1hr4min and no bsod. so i tried 4.1 and played bf1 and my fps was fluctuating a lot and even went to 5fps at one point and i was expereicing slow downs too which wasnt fun at all. so i put it back to 4ghz and fps dipping and slow downs stopped like 90% but did not dip to 5 or around thre. and i reinstalled windows few days ago and before reinstalling i was experiencing same problem, even on stock speeds.

What could be the problem?

edit: i just tested bf1 again and fps dipped to 13 and game was frozen around 3 seconds.

The max voltage I can do con the board is 1.3V but with that I have a stable overclock of 4.6Ghz. I tried 4.7GHz with 1.325V but it crashed after about 5 mins of stress testing.
