Need some help here please.
I recently got a new MB bundle, Gigabyte GA-Z170-Gaming K3, i7-6700K 4.00GHz overclocked to 4.6 GHz, (by factory)
32 GB ram and it came with a watercooled double fan radiator.
It's as fast as can be, but sometimes it just crashes to a black screen and my fans start running like mad. ( and keep on doing that until I press reboot button )
I've reduced the overclock to 4.5 GHz already, but it keeps on doing it.
Do I need to screw it back even further or forget about the overclock all together?
I can not see what is causing it as it all goes black.
Is there a program that can tell me what is wrong?

Forgot to mention, GPU is Gigabyte GTX1080 and PSU is Mastercooler 1000W.

Any help appreciated.

Found it!
In the end it turned out to be a software problem.
I removed my Virus and anti malware programs and re-installed them again.
It hasn't crashed since.
Who would have thought.

Thanks.
