My computer keeps crashing after I overclocked it.

Hello. I have a problem where my pc keeps crashing after I overclocked it. I tested it with prime95 many times but it keeps crashing after 1 minute and 45 seconds. Please help. here are my specs:

Intel Pentium G3258 @ 4.8GHz

CPU Voltage: 1.45v

Fixed Voltage: 1.900v

Corsair H100i GTX

Asrock Z97 Extreme 4

PNY GT 610

That voltage is too high, 1.4v+ is where the CPU has a good chance of being damaged, your chip probably just can't run 4.8Ghz, lower the voltage and try for something like 4.3Ghz and work your way up. There's not much point overclocking your CPU as your GPU is very weak, the CPU won't be bottlenecking.

OK I set my CPU to 4.3GHz and 1.25 volts and it worked perfectly. Thanks

No problem, you may be able to lower the voltage a bit or increase the core multiplier a bit using the same voltage depending on your chip.
