Bluescreen of death when overclocking

[ViciousChad]

I tried overclocking my AMD FX 8350 to 4.2 and 4.3 GHz. I did Prime95 at 4.2 GHz but it shut down after about 40 mins(My max temp was about 42c). My motherboard is Asus M5A97 R2.0 and my cooler is Corsair H55. Any solution?

May need more CPU voltage, DRAM may not be set up right, could be a number of things, out dated BIOS, old/incorrect drivers, etc. What mobo, DRAM (model #s), PSU, GPU?

I don't know what to do with my CPU voltage. I'm new to overclocking..

RAM: G.SKILL Sniper 8gb (2 x 4gb) 240 pin DDR3 1333
PSU: RX-630SS ATX
GPU: Sapphire 7870 Ghz Edition

Take it up + 0.075 and try - if stable can then try lowering while maintaining stability

Okay, then how long should I run Prime95?

Try an hour or so, keep an eye on temps, can run longer if you want

My PC still freezes. I already flashed my bios to the latest version -___-
