Looking for assistance? Here’s how to optimize your CPU for gaming.
I constructed this machine for League of Legends, running on max easy without any issues. Playing Guild Wars 2 MMORPG works well on medium settings even low; it runs smoothly at 30-40fps but may freeze or cause a blue screen after about 20 minutes or longer. It has never crashed on my system until this game started, and I’m confident it can handle the challenge.
Error notice BSOD clock interrupt not received on a secondary processor. I attached photos and believe I need to overclock the CPU. I assure you, I have no technical background and only contacted Toms for assistance because this is extremely stressful. Please help me, I’m a total newbie. I’ve attached pictures to give a general idea of my setup. My rig isn’t overheating, which is surprising since Guild Wars is very CPU-intensive. The GPU usage is minimal, and I apologize the monitor cut-off on the left side in BIOS—it’s unclear why.

I see, those are the automatic settings—how can I fix it?

Thank you for your help! I’m not sure what values to set or where to place the 4.3 GHz and 1.33 V.
Just switch off overclocking mode from auto, if possible, or try a load defaults. Don’t mess with overclocking if you’re not sure.
If those are the current configurations, it's already overclocked. It's configured to reach 6.3Ghz and 1.55V, both significantly higher than recommended, which likely causes your PC to crash.
Oh dear! Those are the auto settings, how do I fix it? I ran CPU Z when I was in Guild Wars and this is what the picture looks like compared to the original on a desktop.

4,3Ghz and 1,33V are somewhat within the acceptable range but could cause overheating or lack stability.
Switching to the manual setting where it says "Multiplier/Voltage change" and using the default CPU values would be a good first step.
I’m not very familiar with this motherboard.
There’s also an OC tweaker section you can explore...
You can always revert to the default settings if things go wrong.
Thank you for your assistance. I'm still figuring out the right values and placement for the 4.3 GHz and 1.33V.
