PC crashes/reboots when trying to open AMD Overdrive

This has been asked before and I have already tried those solutions without success.

I downloaded overdrive, clicked to open the shortcut, got the warning about overclocking, hit OK. I get a small text telling me overdrive is initializing and BAM! PC reboots. Have tried this multiple times with the same outcome.

I want to use overdrive to monitor my A10-7870k temps as (to the best of knowledge) no other temp software gives accurate readings for AMD products. The AsusAI gives me an idle temp of 26C whereas Speccy/HWMonitor is always around42C.

The APU has never been overclocked, if this makes a difference.

As I stated I use AsusAI to monitor idle tems but with all the research I have done, it doesn't seem to monitor load temps very accurately, hence wanting to use overdrive.
