My assumption is an overdrawn power supply. What happens is when I overvolt my CPU beyond a certain point (1.675v) I get a message in the BIOS that the overvolt failed, and it will usually attempt to boot before crashing almost immediately. If the overclock is higher, it will say 'overvolt failed' then the next line will say 'overclocking failed' and will ask me to either restore default or edit my settings. The PSU is a 700w OCZ gameXstream. It is quad-rail, so it seems that it could be the 18A CPU rail being overdrawn. I just want some other opinions because the motherboard is brand new and could also have an issue that I can't find.
This is getting quite annoying because I am not able to get a stable OC over 4.15GHz
