Hi people i have a massive problem with my pc.it crashes and somtimes reboots when im playing games.
I updated the bios and did memory testing which was successful so i dont think its a memory problem.
My specs:
Fx 4130 processor
4 gb ddr3 crucial memory
Hd radeon 6790 graphics card
Lc power 600w power supply
Asrock 960gm vgs3 fx motherboard
Also i get these errors when i get bsod:"clock watchdog timeout "and
"Irql not less or equal"


Please help.

Irlq not less or equal happens when you didnt installed your drivers.

Check if they are all installed correctly.

Also , make sure all the hardware you installed is compatible.

No , it isn't

Your motherboard isnt compatible with that CPU because his TDP is too high. The maximum TDP for a CPU supported on your motherboard is 95W but your FX-4130 has a 125W TDP.

Get a better motherboard (you should NEVER get a cheap motherboard) or change to an Athlon/ Phenom CPU

It put back your BIOS back to the default settings.

but some processors that are shown in the compatibility list have tdp of 125 w

To clear Cmos you need to put the cmos jumper cap (included, i think) on the 2nd and 3rd pin of your3-pin Cmos jumper (near your RAM modules)

Its better to clean the cmos. If you do, it's like if you go in the bios and put it to default settings manually. The settings you are trying to delete will be saved and it will not do the same job.
