Overclocked my i5 on 4.5Ghz on 1.3v, used aida64 to strees test it 30 mins, and cinabenchr15 everything was fine. Few hrs ago in web browsing, sound just bugged in same tone and screen went gray (same like when old TV's lost signa) after restart everything was fine, i lowered overclock to 4.3Ghz. (I dont think it's gpu, i bought it 2 weeks ago RX570, and i had no such problem on stock speeds of cpu).

Anyone had similar problem while overclocking?

Actually yes.

When I overclocked my cousins FX 8320 (Crashes, BSOD, It even broke his GTX 690)

Perform CMOS reset and dont overclock it

Well i dont think i can kill my gpu or psu with overclock, 1.3v is very low for my cpu, its only 0.1v higher then stock vcore. PSU is corsair 650w 80+ bronze so i think i will be fine, but i have never had situation with gray screen (like lost of signal)

We were unlucky and gpu died while testing the overclock and CPU was 90 degrees

Sounds like bad psu, might output higher voltage and that could kill cpu and gpu..
