BSoD while playing games.

Hello CJN and welcome to Seven Forums.

I think OCing an i5 to 4.6 is pushing things a bit. Until you can get a handle on the BSODs, I'd suggest restoring default values. The stop error 0x101 is also known as a CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT. Very difficult to troubleshoot. One of the best troubleshooting guides I've seen is here:

Thanks for your reply. :)

Since my original post I have lowered my OC on the i5 to 4.20 Ghz.

My system has since been running great and currently getting 7.8 on Windows Index Score.

Happy days!

Sounds like you may have found the magic fix. If any other issues occur please post back.
