My pc is having regular bsod and not running games properly.

Hi.
My new PC is having a bit of a problem but I have no idea what's wrong, I will try to provide as much info as possible and hope u guys can help.

Components:

Mobo: gigabyte GA-z97p-D3
Graphics: gtx 8800 <my test GPU
Cpu: g3258 Intel
Psu: 430w

Let's start...the psu is not the problem and it can power the system properly, I know this because my system worked properly before I did the following..I installed afterburner, and hyper cocked the GPU, I basically clocked it to max straight away, the screen started glitching so I hard shut my PC and restarted, I uninstalled afterburner after returning the normal clocks, problem is my games started bugging, the GPU isn't fried because it can run my bench mark test.but it's never done this before in game it's used to running properly, and every time I try to shut down the PC I get a BSOD error, I removed the GPU and the problems still occurred, I have a few bent pins in the cpu but they never cause a problem before they make perfect contact with the CPU.

I reinstalled Windows and the problems still continued.

First of all, if you don't know how to overclock safely then don't do it at all. You should NEVER put the clocks at max speed straight away.

It's possible your GPU is damaged, which is stopping it from working properly, but this is unlikely unless temperatures were very high for a long time.

Secondly, your CPU pins are bent so you should straighten them, doesn't matter if it worked well before. If something worked yesterday it can still fail today. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/311864-30-bent-socket-pins
