Are you manually overclocking or are you using a BIOS preset, or some other automatic utility to configure the overclock?

What is your motherboard BIOS version?

What CPU cooler are you running?

What are your CPU core temperatures doing just before it blue screens? And what are you using to monitor temperatures with?

What case and case fan configuration do you have?

What memory kit is installed and EXACTLY which DIMM slots are they installed in?

What is your EXACT power supply model?

What is your graphics card model?

Have you read any of the following? Because if you haven't, you REALLY need to do so.
