Hello I tried to oc my cpu (i7 8700k).
I can only get it up to 4,8 ghz because its
already running with 1,35 v on this clock speed. When I try to decrease the v , I get a blue screen and my pc crashes.
Is there something I can do about it ?
Sorry for my bad english btw.

You wouldn't be able to, cpu manufacturers do not guarantee you will be able to get a high overclock. Overclocking a cpu actually voids its warranty, although there's usually no way they can prove a cpu has been overclocked.

Not really. You just got a bad chip. All cpus are not made the same, some overclock better than others, even ones of the same model.
 


Should I RMA it ?
