I have been running my watercooled 3770k overclocked at 4.8 and a 680 with no issues for the last two years.

Today I installed an Evga 980ti SC+ with the stock cooler (loop is now just doing CPU for the time being) on start up I was getting Windows boot errors where it would say PC repair and the windows 10 logo would just spin and then load a repair screen or I would just end up with a black screen after the motherboard flash screen.

I figured that maybe my C drive was not reading correctly so I restored it to a Macrium image, this then failed halfway. I then done a clean install of Windows 10 this worked up until desktop and then it would freeze, on restart I got the same error messages again.

After playing around I turned my overclock off entirely and it now seems stable with no more error messages on start. Could it be my Corsair AX850 is not powerful enough?
