Remove your overclock.
If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.
To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.
After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.

Try running specific benchmarks/stress tests to see if it happens when the CPU or GPU is stressed:
https://unigine.com/en/products/benchmarks
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24075/Intel-Extreme-Tuning-Utility-Intel-XTU-
Also, specifically what PSU do you have? if you cheaped out on a garbage PSU, it could cause all kinds of problems.
Also any OTHER games you can test with?

My psu is a good 850kw (not sure on units sorry if i used they wrong wat unit)
The video card has 2 power slots at 8pins a piece
I swapped the 6+2s position with the 8
Virtually they're the same leads as far as i knew,i read these cards are funny on watage
I also cleaned the filter and gave the card a squirt of compressed air to clean
I'm not sure what exactly fixed it, but hey no hanging on wow anymore

Watts mean nothing in regards to quality, and usually something cheap but high wattage is garbage quality.
If swapping the cables that were going to the PSU fixed it, that likely means the PSU was a problem, you should really find out what PSU you have and whether it's any good or not.
