Ok.

 

Please give us something to go on, other than "It Crashes"

 

what are the circumstances, does it boot into the OS, when does it crash? bios, OS boot, while using a program?

if you have a parts list, include that if possible.

 

It shows the windows 10 BSoD saying UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION

After that is goes to a black screen saying to insert boot media and press any key. Pressing any key just shows the message again. 

To get back into the OS I have to shut down the system and boot up again. 

When i get back into the OS there aren't any error messages to look for. 

 

When searching online for the error message on the BSoD I cant seem to find any solutions.  

I have all drivers updated and and constantly check windows update.

Did you try to run a antivirus and antimalware scan?

I think the power supply isn't strong enough for overclocking. The required minimum for your GPU is 400 w and to overclocking I would recommend getting a 500w psu

Yes, I used McAfee and Malwarebytes to scan the system multiple times.

 

I think the psu might not be strong enough too, but I checked multiple psu calculators ant they all recomended 400w psu's

Update: Turned out that my problems were caused by a faulty SATA controller on my hdd. After cloning my drive on a ssd i haven't had any problems. 

Oh rip
