What are the fail symptoms? Won't make it past POST, BSOD's out (if it does what is the error address), won't pass stress testing.

 

A screenshot of your BIOS settings would be helpful. FAT32 formatted USB in a MOBO port, press F12 while in the BIOS to save a screen to upload (assuming your board supports that functionality, most do).

Is this an unlocked processor or are you running some sort of home-brew to make the OC work?

in the bios i have it set to 3.1ghz but when i actually go into windows and check task manager it says 2.9ghz and so does cinebench r15 it says 2.9 but in speccy it says 3.1 so i dont know which is right or not
