Hello,
 
well if you're setting BCLK to 125 then your memory is going to be clocked very high. If you are not adjusting memory voltage and timings separately there is a good chance you will not be able to post.
 
Is there a specific reason you are setting BLCK overclock rather than manually changing the core ratio and voltage?

Press and Hold the Small Red Button on the Motherboard as you power on the Computer and hold for 10 Seconds.
Let go of the Button and allow the MB to Boot up, this will go faster if you use only One Ram Stick.
The More Memory you have installed the Longer it will take to boot. Mine takes 3 minutes the Frist Boot up with 64 GB of memory.
It also may restart 2 or three times to set your Memory and CPU, the first time that is.

Wow I would love to reach a stable 4.3 to 4.5 Clock for a daily use. Now my pc is giving me the windows 10 recovery error message needs to be repaired etc etc.
 
What do I do!!??? Did I damage the windows for trying to overclock or play with the voltage or is it because I restarted the pc 15 times and removed the mb's battery like 5 times... Helllllllpppppp

Isnt that bad for my cpu to keep my bclk at 100? Sorry a bit confused not overly tech savy with the whole overclocking process

Completely stock, your CPU runs at 100 BCLK. So no, it's not bad to run it at 100, yet it DOES cause additional strain on the integrated memory controller when it is run at 125 - not all CPUs can handle running at 125, that's why you should set it to 100 and not use the XMP profile which will likely set it to 125.
 
That said, only overclock one thing at a time. Set the RAM to default specs (just load optimal defaults in the BIOS) and then concentrate first on getting a stable CPU overclock.
 
THEN go back and find out what you can set your RAM to (quick hint for when you start upping your RAM speeds - 2133 through 2666 MHz uses 100 BCLK, over 2666 but under 3200 MHz uses 125, 3200MHz uses 100, and anything over 3200MHz uses 125 (this is for EVGA X99 motherboards with the 5XXX series CPUs, I believe it changes a bit for the 6XXX series)).
 
Trying to overclock both at the same time will likely make you too frustrated when you get nothing but crash after crash.

Update and install your drivers and BIOS from this site.  Once you're done with that, do a windows update and finish with that.  Than start with the CPU OCing and simply follow these very easy instructions on how to do so.  

Did that, thanks for the info will keep you guys posted. So far I am stable at 4.5Ghz but I havent touched my ram memory. I would love to overclock the ram but afraid of the boot problem etc etc etc.
