There's also a MIO board that connects to the motherboard via a USB header that controls various functions of my case.
That's a good point about the code on the BSOD, I'll see what it says. I'm assuming I'll be able to find out when I try the settings you suggested 😛
*EDIT* Where's "XMP profile" in the BIOS?
Were it says AI Overclock Tuner, default is auto. change it to xmp. Like mine below
Im not a fan either. manual overclock is alot better and if u have the patience can be very efficient compared to auto overclocks. auto 4.2 on mine was setting core volts as high as 1.32v and when i did it manually stock 1.2v was stable so basically it was overvolting for nothing.
not the best idea in the world and all mobo manufactures all do it to be competitive with each other. but in my opinion its not the best way to go about things.

Number 4 is fine , older bios used medium, high and so on. My bad.
The built in OC profiles just did not work with your system mate, easy as that. I do not like them at all.
You should have XMP as an option in the mode of OC.
Hmmm, I tried using the "4.2" OC profile and this one didn't blue screen. The other one did though, here's a photo of the blue screen:
Nope, no "XMP" option, just "manual" and "auto"

Profiles are nice for guys like me who aren't familiar with overclocking, but based on what HiVizMan described, basic manual overclocking involves choosing the desired core rate and choosing an appropriate voltage core? How do you know what a suitable voltage core is? If I wanted to go higher than 4.2GHz, how would I go about this (aside from setting the speed I want in "core" obviously)?

Ok dont get ahead of yourself.
Make sure your system is stable at stock settings 1st doing a stability test 1st... at least 3 runs i would. then check the stickies on here on how to overclock and find stability and read thru it... if u cant get stock settings to be stable then come back. but read the guides they really are helpfull and simplified..
