(I'm 16yo noob, sorry)
Hey, so I might have done something wrong when overclocking. It was my second CPU overclock attempt, the first one went well (later on I changed CPU for an upgrade). Currently, I have FX-8350 (with original fan) and I use it for I think not longer than a year. I tried to overclock it just like the AMD Athlon II X4 640 I had before, but I saw an auto overclock option in the BIOS and clicked it because I thought it will make things easier. As far as I know, if you don't change the voltage, you are cool with the temperature (probably a noob thing I know and believe), and the auto overclock thingy changed it, I think... The fan was louder than usual and I tried to run some games to check if its stable, the temp was not higher than 75c and got a BSOD at some point. That happened in my first overclock ever as well, so I decided to reset to defaults and made a manual overclock (That worked for me with the Athlon). I set it to 4.2ghz (default voltage, from now on, the temp was stable below 60) and BSOD appeared after some time of using. I went down to 4.1 and it happened again. Now I sit with default settings stock 4.0ghz CPU, and the PC keeps throwing me bluescreens every 2-4 hours (every BSOD says different things https://imgur.com/a/Z0oGX20. Sometimes the PC reboots itself, sometimes I need to hold the power button). How bad did I do? Did I just break my CPU? Send help.
Windows 7
Motherboard - M5A97 PLUS
Cpu - FX-8350
Is there any more info needed? Please tell me what I'm missing and maybe tell where do I get the information from.
Edit: CMOS restart worked. The cpu got automatically overclocked somehow after the restart, but windows doesn't crash anymore!
