Hi all,

Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600k
Motherboard: ASRock Z170M Pro4s
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 380 Series
RAM: G.Skill DDR4 16 GB
Hardrive: 1 TB WD Blue SSD
750W power supply

Everytime that I try to overclock something goes wrong. Sometimes it boots incorrectly and sometimes the computer boots fine, but then it will freeze. I thought my specs were good enough to overclock the PC, but I am not sure. Does anyone have recommended settings that I should try?
 
So I was trying to do 4.2ghz cause I tried to read online and apparently that was a pretty reasonable starting point for most people. I didn't change many setting and left a lot of stuff on auto.
