Hey guys!
Like many others, I boosted my i5 750 for gaming purposes.
I looked up a setup on YouTube and found this link:

But when I was playing games (GTA IV & GTA V), I couldn’t even run for more than three minutes before my whole PC crashed.
🙁
I’m 100% sure it’s the overclock, because a stress test in CPU-Z shows it shutting down in under five seconds. It was set to 4.0 Ghz with the stock cooler.
Specs:
EVGA CX 430w
Intel core i5 750
Asus GTX 660
Asus P7P55M
8GB RAM

It could be overheating and shutting down to avoid starting a fire...or your overclock might be unstable, requiring you to either reduce the clock speed or increase the voltage for stability. I recommend lowering the clock, as the built-in coolers aren't designed to handle extra voltage. Out of curiosity, who told you to overclock with a stock cooler?

Don't even know some kid on YouTube I'm new to overclocking, but can you explain how to prevent crashes? What does "the clock" refer to in the screenshots?

It's either overheating and shutting itself off to avoid starting a fire... or your overclock is unstable, and you should either reduce the clock speed or increase the voltage to achieve stability. I recommend lowering the clock, as the built-in coolers aren't designed to handle extra voltage. Out of curiosity, what window licker suggested overclocking with a stock cooler? Can you clarify?
