Okay so i'm trying to overclock my 1100t but its always getting bsod. Before i bought my 560 ti it oc to about 3.8 ghz (using a stock cooler and using Asus's auto oc). I had to wipe my computer clean and after I installed my new graphics card it won't overclock anymore. So i bought a new cooler, Cooler Master hyper 212+. I tried overclocking and it just blue screens, it won't even go up to 3.4ghz! Everything has been working fine with stock settings so I was wondering is it my mobo that is messed up or my cpu? Because my first overclock was using the Asus Oc tool. Please help and thanks

I would try reseating everything. Pull all components off take the cpu out ect. Sometimes 1 little thing can just mess everything up. Also did you upgrade the Bios I have seen this destroy peoples overclocks too. If you have not updated the bios you might as well go see if there is a newer one since it won't hurt anything. Check temps and make sure all fans are running. Thats where I would start anyway.

Sorry i mean't 3.3 to 3.4 lol.The fact is i had my cpu running 3.8ghz when i used my stock cooler. I wiped my computer and replaced my old gfx card for the new msi n560 ti hawk and replaced stock cooler with cooler mast hyper 212+. So now i'm wondering why i can't even get it from 3.3 ghz to 3.4ghz so i don't knw if i should replace my mobo or my processor.
