Freezing from Overclock?

[jona102190]

Hi all:

My system specs are listed below. Long story short: I decided to try overclocking my computer. It was not a stable overclock, and I decided to just revert, so I did a bios reset. However, after the reset, it is periodically freezing, and blue screened once or twice. I did not have these issues prior. The OC was not extreme, all I did was turn on the easy OC (I think it did it to around 3.6ish). I bumped up the voltages a bit (I tried it before, and knew that its stock voltages were not enough for the Easy OC). I put the core voltage up to 1.45v. I'm not really sure why the bios reset (I've done it several times, both via the reset button, and via the load defaults) has not solved this problem. It was not overheating.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Don't assume the problem is hardware. When does it freeze?

I haven't really noticed a pattern. It freezes randomly.

The reason I'm thinking its the hardware is because this never happened prior.
