It might be that the overclock isn't stable. Consider reducing it slightly and observe if it still causes freezing issues.
Yes, reducing the overclock is recommended. This video provides helpful instructions.
So I followed the video instructions, but the issue persists. The computer screen freezes, all USBs shut down yet the machine continues to run, the lights and fan still operate but I can't take any action. I'm trying to figure out what to do, but I'm searching online and nothing seems to help.
