[GPU] Bad performance and BSODs

Okay doods, I'm at a loss here. Since I overclocked my CPU, I've been having some GPU related BSODs. Sometimes it would do a reboot loop for 4 or 5 times before it'll boot, or it'll crash for no reason, specifically when watching videos. (There were different stop codes, but I have no minidumps) I stress tested my CPU, GPU, RAM, and HDD. Nothing appears to be wrong. I moved my two top fans to be exhaust fans a few days ago, and now I'm having issues with GPU performance. Emulators perform very badly and games (Such as Minecraft and SR:TT) have low FPS and/or stutter. I reinstalled my video driver and all was great. Everything performed nicely. Now today (Two reboots later), I'm having bad performance and BSODs again. I reinstalled the driver again, no improvement, so I removed the driver and then reinstalled it again, no improvement. I don't think it's hardware related as Linux and OS X Mavericks don't have any issues and are as stable as a rock. No hangs or crashes. Gaming performance isn't all that great on them, but that's normal. What's up? Should I do a clean install of Windows or something?

 

Running Windows 8.1 on UEFI, if you need any extra info please ask.

 

EDIT: Earlier today I reset my CPU voltage and clock back to stock, no improvement

Reset the overclock and try again.

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I already set the overclock back to default voltage and clocks. No improvement

I just loaded "optimised defaults" in my BIOS, and everything seems to be good so far. I don't think I solved my own problem though. I think it'll come back to haunt me in a few days.

Yeah no. Last night it was working well, now it isn't. Again.

Perhaps re-flashing the BIOS will help.

Just re-flashed as you suggested, no improvement.
