One month ago I increased the clock speed of my mt FX6300 to 4.1GHz. The stress test passed without any issues. However, my system stops when playing BF4 or BF1, even though LoL runs smoothly. I used BlueScreenView to investigate and found a bug: 0x00000124 with parameter 00000000'0000000. The blue screen indicates an unrecoverable error, which matches the fact that my PC crashes. My temperatures are normal during gaming, and I set the CPU voltage to 1.240. This error began after I reset the MBR of my Windows 10 due to a boot problem, but I don’t think it’s connected. Could this be related to my overclock? I don’t want to change my BIOS unless I’m certain it’s the cause and it would be easier that way.

Was die CPU-Spannung korrekt eingegeben? 0,040 Volt?

It might help to increase the voltage slightly for better memory control, and consider running a prime95 26.6 blend test for ten minutes to check for errors caused by stressing the memory control.

It might help to increase the voltage slightly for memory control and try a CPU-nb voltage adjustment. A prime95 26.6 blend test for ten minutes could reveal any errors caused by stressing the memory control.
Check the Mersenne Forum thread for similar advice.
BIOS was reset to default, and the stress test on prime95 succeeded after twenty minutes.
I suspect a software problem, as only BF games were affected before.
After installing Windows 10, I encountered issues with Srttrail, which led me to reset the MBR. The problem appeared only afterward, so I'm reinstalling my system. Thanks for your assistance.
