Motherboard: MSI 760GM-P34 (FX)
Graphics: EVGA GTX 960 SSC
CPU: AMD FX-6300 Black Edition

Ram: 8GB DDR3
Power Supply: Corsair CX600 80+ Bronze (600 Watt)

I reset my motherboard's settings to fail-safe and optimized defaults multiple times. Still can't get my CPU to overclock. When I try my monitor's screen goes black and randomly flashes white.What I changed in bios was I enabled/disabled some settings that needed to be on/off for manual overclocking. After that this mess ensued

I have a good feeling my motherboard is to blame for this as I know its dying and I'm getting it replaced soon. Just want to know if anyone knows my exact problem

I got it to overclock and stabilize before, Saying i shouldn't overclock on that board anyway when I already said I got an overclock on it before I had the bios start messing up. I know small overclocks on the board are possible,

Keep it family friendly please. No F words in thread titles and such. I just edited it out instead of deleting the thread since another mod had already posted in here.
