That kind of crash isn't normal for overclocking instability. Those are most times BSODs with WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR showing on screen. Also thermal compound doesn't have any effect on crashing and you'd see thermal throttling long before crashing due high temps.

I've done some research today and I found a guy who claimes that it is a driver issue from the GPU... So i shall try to reinstall the drivers for the gtx 770 directly from nvidia's website instead of going via geforce experience...

Like I said earlier, it could be also bad HDD/SSD. Or even RAM. Depending on what kind of crashing it is. If its straight power off and reboot, it must be mobo that has problems handling power. BSODs will have error codes to troubleshoot further. Freezing is most likely RAM or drive issue.

It seels to be fixed!! I uninstalled all nvidia drivers using driver sweeper, than reinstalled the drivers for the GTX 770 directely from the nvidia website. My friend is playing for a few days know without any crashing!! :)
