When i overclock the cpu to 4.3 or any higher the highest i have gone is 4.5ghz when i run the stability tests it passes fine, and when i use my pc then for gaming or web browsing it is fine but were i run into a problem banghead.gif is if i try to watch a you tube video.

You need to overclock through the bios not overdrive, the bios is a lot safer. Try the stability test through AIDA64 and P95 for 24 hours atlest. Then run MSI Kombustor for about 12 hours and see if you dont get any artifacts.

Thats how I do it, but you can do em for 2 or 3 hours :)

Is Ur WiFi good tho?

Also

Ur CPU in turbo or over clocked will not improve the performance as apu now are just not that advanced yet and not worth

If I were u, just don't overclock

You should overclock your ram instead

Apu use ram to help the fps skyrocket

Also

List down the games u wanna play and on Wad settings

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

I suppose the problem could be that the CPU part is now taking so much of the power that the GPU hasn't got enough left to work properly. But as the others mentioned before: Don't overlock your CPU, it's not worth it. If you want to improve gaming perfomance overlock the GPU and RAM. And I agree with @CoolaxGaming , don't overclock with AMD Overdrive, never worked properly with my 1090T, too. Use the BIOS or Easytune.
