thanks for the information you provided, but we need more than "a hard time"
what happens exactly?
does it restart over and over?
does it bluescreen and restart?
does it freeze?

the overclock is unstable
 
please read/do the following
 
 
i am not familiar with your motherboard, but if that link doesnt help you
look for profile setups in your bios, save your current profile and load a different one, then go to the main menu and load setup defaults
 
if you get lost, come back and ill get you better directions

I am familiar with the XFX mobo...it was one of the first ones to come out, but gave me a headache later on lol. mobo pin somehow bent. whatever.

go to overclocking, then profiles (forgot what it was called exactly), find a blank profile, hit "save user profile". verify that that's your current setting, then go back, and to the last tab up top. hit load optimal defaults.
