Overclocking issue

Hi I recently overclocked my Intel i7-9700k to 5.0 Ghz and I did this correctly because I watched a video of a guy with my exact same motherboard, the Gigabyte Auorus Pro,  overclock successfully. I have a Noctua DH-15 cooler and when I booted to windows I had no problems at all, I was running at 5.0 and I tested in cinabench and I was getting wonderful performance. I then hopped onto Division 2 and within minutes of playing, EVERYTHING froze. I couldn't do anything so I had to power off my computer with the power button. This happened over and over until I had to set my CPU back to stock. Why is it doing this?

unstable overclock. You can't just copy the voltage and loadline calibration (LLC) settings of guides when you do your own overclock.

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

You didn't overclock your CPU "correctly" at all. You can't whack in someone else's numbers and expect it to work, testing an overclock with cinebench isn't a stress test and will not show you true stabilty for real world applications. To overclock something you need to go through stages of testing and then depending on what you're overclocking depends on what stress test you need to use. 

You're game froze because your CPU and your MOBO and your RAM are all different to the person in the video, they have different batch parts with different current and voltage tolerances.

Unstable OC. The silicon lottery exists, every single motherboard, piece of RAM and CPU is different.
