CPU Overclock Crashing computer on certain games

Hi, I recently bought BF4 and had numerous crashes. I couldnt find the reason until someone on the Games section said it may be my overclock. I Downclocked it and it still crashed. When i set it back to default, it ran fine. I play a lot of different games and never noticed a crash. Its overclocked to 4.5Ghz at 1.290v. I dont know much about overclocking but i did stress test it for a few hours when i done it. Is there any reason its BSODing my pc ? Im not sure if it needs more voltage, but it seems a little high already.

Thanks

My RAM was at 2400Mhz at 1.65V, i put it down to 1600mhz with the same voltage and it still crashed. Is it maybe something to do with my RAM ?
