Hello, my computer restarts when I try to overclock it using amd overdrive (I don't know how to do it through Bios since im new to OC)
My specs are :
CPU: FX 8320E
MOBO: Asus m5a97 r2.0
GPU: Radeon R9 380
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 600w(I ordered a new and better PSU that should arrive soon)
Cooler: Cryorig H7

When I select 4000 Mghz or higher the computer shuts off instantly but when I put it a little lower like 3800 it works fine for a while then turns off if I open any game or run a stress test. Sometimes if I run a stress test I get a BSOD saying something about "****_Clock_timeout" I forgot the first word. My goal is to be able to OC to 4.5 mghz

    ■ You do know that CPU has certain TDP, and when it gets hot it will throttle down to safe working temperature. The trick is to make your CPU not reach max temperature point, usually by CPU water cooling.
    ■ You should know how much m5a97 can supply power to CPU by googling, and how much max wattage your FX 8320E can use.
    ■ Keep googling for "OC FX 8320E" working OC setting, but you can do it yourself after you get watercooling.
