My parts include a HyperX Fury with 2x4gb 1.6ghz, an Asus M5A97 LE R2.0, an MSI RX470 with 8gb (overclocked), a 700 watt bronze-plated PSU (manufacturer unknown), a Cooler Master Hyper-T4 with two fans, and the AMD FX-8300.
When I tried the suggested speeds, my computer would freeze after about 30 seconds when opening Prime94. I've tested many different speeds but haven't found any stable ones. Please help.

This board lacks heatsinks on the VRM and features a subpar power phase design, making it unsuitable for overclocking.
