Multiple BSOD happening at random times.

Bought the pc a while ago and had problems earlier with faulty ram, after getting it replaced it ran fine until recently. about a week ago I decided to try doing some overclocking to my pc. just a small overclock from 3.4ghz to 4.2ghz It's quite hot where I live so I decided on 4.0ghz. After 1 or 2 crashes from the oc not being stable I raised the voltage slightly and it ran prime95 for a while and didn't crash. there was a storm the night of doing it so I didn't feel conformable doing it then, so I went into the bios and changed everything back to default and booted into windows and after only a little while got a BSOD. I made sure all the settings in the bios were at default and made sure it wasn't overclocked and it wasn't. I got quite a few BSOD mostly "Page Fault in non paged area" and I believe 1 "memory management". The BSOD are a bit weird as well the 2nd monitor doesn't turn off and the BSOD doesn't restart my pc, I actually have to click the reset button. When I was trying to overclock my pc I monitored the temps and they didn't exceed 65c so nothing should have been damaged. The next morning I booted up my pc as per normal and ran prime95 and to my surprise it ran fine for about a week, running prime 95 a few times throughout the week. Then yesterday randomly got another BSOD with "page fault in non paged area". Got a few more, then a couple hours later restarted my pc and its working fine. But I believe it will continue and want to know what I can do to fix it, Thanks.

Sorry for the delay in responding. Do you still need help with this topic?
If so, respond and I'll be notified by email.

Please remove the overclock completely while we're troubleshooting - feel free to restart it once the system has been stabilized

While waiting for a reply, please try these suggestions:
1. Get ALL available Windows Updates. It may take several trips to get them all
2. Get ALL available, Windows 8.1 compatible updates from the manufacturer's website.
3. Start with these free hardware diagnostics: Hardware Diagnostics
4. If all of the hardware tests pass, then run Driver Verifier according to these instructions: Driver Verifier Settings
