"Overclock settings have failed" error on first boot

[ezhu002]

I recently upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 ( Build 10240). I had my overclock settings at 4.4 GHz/1.172 CPU Vin (specs listed at the bottom). My computer had no issues prior to switching to Windows 10. However, my computer always crashes and gives me the "overclock settings have failed" error within the first 10 minutes. This seems to only happen during the first boot session of my computer.

After restarting, the computer seems to run fine with no problems. I've tried restarting with default CPU settings and my usual OC settings. My computer runs for several hours with no issues. The issue comes back after I've turned the computer off for a long period of time (~3-5 hours).

I think its a Windows 10 issue, but I'm not sure.

Specs
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (Build 10240)
Mobo: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate
CPU: i5-4690k
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8 GB

As of the current build of Windows 10, there are numerous reports that there are microcode-level issues with overclocking in Windows 10. There may be a fix somewhere down the road, but avoid overclocking for now.
