Specs:
i5-4690K @4.5 GHz
4x4 G.SKILL Ripjaws X 2133 - RAM
MSI z97-G45 - Motherboard
Sapphire Nitro AMD R9 390 - GPU

So ever since I overclocked my CPU, I have been getting BSOD crashes while playing Battlefield 1 and similar titles. I have assumed it had to be my voltage, I just can't find that sweet spot for voltage. I went from 1.3 down to 1.290 and suprisingly it seems for stable (dont worry, I have a corsair h100i v2 liquid cpu cooler).

But my question is: why is this happening? Is it my voltage? I heard it can be a RAM issue also, but I doubt it.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Not often we hear about the red screen crash...

Came across this a while back, see if it is of any help:

It's usually just a red screen with my speakers making an "ERRRRRRRRRRRR" Sound, not sure what it is but I personally consider it some sort of crash. At one point it did actually BSOD but now its just a red screen.
