I have an FX-6300 running at 4.6Ghz on an Asus M5A99X Evo II.
Everything's been thoroughly tested and seemed fine for weeks until recently I needed to RAR some files and every time I tried resulted in a complete OS freeze.
Long story short, I left most settings at auto in the BIOS and the one which fixed the problem was in the DIGI+ POWER section.
Manually setting the lowest value which worked in the CPU CURRENT field, in my case 120%.
Just thought I'd share this finding, if like me you overclock carefully and were stumped by a similar problem and didn't want to max all BIOS settings.
