    So i downloaded the INTEL overclocking utlity and i undervolted my CPU from like 1.06 (shown in CPU z) to around 0.80 voltage and the blue screen kept appearing


    do you know how to undervolt or turn turbo boost off?

    Use a voltage threshold like -80mV. 206mV is far too much. Use the Intel XTU, it is perfect. Yoh can also disable the turbo there, but it doesn't make much sense.

    From 100-160mv should work. But no chips is equal. Test in all sorts of workflow for stability before you make further undervolt. But rather use ThrottleStop instead of Xtu. You find the TS guide thread + download link in the forum.

    Throttlestop is much more complicated for beginners.
