Could this be my powersupply?

Ok, so I have the current system below in my sig. I'm having a little problem o/cing my cpu. Whenever i try to get past 3.4ghz i get windows "blue screen" error like within 2 minutes of starting up windows. I have a Raidmax 380 watt PSU, I've been meaning to get a new one, but haven't had money yet. Here's the specs to my PSU:
Newegg.com - RAIDMAX RX-380K ATX12V 380W Power Supply 100 - 240 V TUV, UL, CSA, CE, FCC, CB - Retail

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have enough power to hold the system. What do you guys think?

i think u might be right. this only has one 12v rail so i think u would be pushing it the try and overclock with that psu.

usually 1 rails are better... but RAIDMAX are kind of known to have crappy PSU's..... i'm thinking its at fault here...

what about a 1 rail with 25A, or 2 rails with 18A? I'm looking at this psu right now only $50 at my computer store and it comes with a $40 Mail in rebate.

i dont understand, how could one rail with 18A or so amps be better than a dual 12v rails with 18A

I think he meant that one large rail is better than several smaller ones.
