First of all, you didn't mention what speed cpu you had
you only said what speed you have running it at, try dropping it to its
correct speed install windows and then experiment at what speed it can run
at, quite clearly a General Protection fault is caused by the overclocking.
Not all the CPU's manufactured are perfect and you may have just got one
that isn't as capable of being over clocked.
(What happens in the Chip manufacturing line is they make a chip at a
certain speed, then test it, if it fails at that speed they will try it at a
diferent speed if it is okay then it will be badged as a lower speed and
sold.

So i guess im saying try a different cpu, or don't bother overclocking.
And anyway a Gigabyte Motherboard is not the best for overclocking a cpu.
you are creating problems for yourself that way. Should of choosen an  Abit
socket A
