BSOD appearing in some games and sometimes at startup - Windows 7 x64

Skeet · Mar 18, 2014

I wonder if you can help. I've been getting fairly frequent BSODs recently. Often while playing the game "The incredible adventures of Van Helsing", though not always. Often after a BSOD it will do it again immediately after or during a reboot.
I've uploaded the required files as instructed and answered the questions below. I was directed here by someone on the steam forums. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Intel Core i7 2600K Processor Overclocked (by Chillblast) to up to 4.6GHz

Clear the CMOS ASAP as this overclock is likely very unstable despite what 'Chillblast' may have told you regarding the stress testing or diagnostics they went through - How To Clear CMOS (Reset BIOS)

Regardless, troubleshooting an overclocked system is very difficult.

Regards,

Patrick
