BSOD 0xa0000001 - is my overclock causing this?

Either caused by AMD drivers (according to google) or CPU not getting enough volts (to my limited knowledge). Try upping the volts on your CPU a tad.
 
Are you overclocked at the bios or AMD Overdrive?

The atikmdag.sys causing your BSOD is part of Catalyst Control Center.

EDIT: It would also help if we knew your system spec.
 
Sorry for the late reply. I thought I had gotten rid of this problem after I reformatted Windows, but recently it has made a come back.

Yes, my CPU is overclocked in the BIOS, graphics card however is at stock and I've not touched AMD OverDrive (I would do all my overclocking in Afterburner anyway). Though the last time it happened, the CPU was running at stock so I'm not 100% sure the CPU is to blame. This time I had been playing BF4 and Titanfall on and off all day without problems. Later that day, soon as I launched a video (which happened to be on the OC3D channel) on YouTube, the BSOD presented itself :(

I let memtest ran, thinking it might have been the memory but that presented no issues what so ever when it had completed :/

The full system spec:

MB: ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition
CPU: i7-4930K
MEM: 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum (4x4GB ) @ 2133MHz (XMP profile enabled)
GPU: MSI R9 290X Lightning (stock settings with factory overclock on, latest driver - not had it long so yet to tamper with it)
PSU: Superflower Leadex 1200W, 80+ platinum
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
