Why does my PC still crash despite disabling overclocking?
I recently purchased a new gaming PC and it was functioning perfectly. One time I pressed "Del" during boot, opened the BIOS, enabled "Game Boost" and "A-XMP" to overclock my CPU and RAM. When I launched a game, it only ran for about 10 seconds before crashing and restarting. After resetting the BIOS, I turned off those features. Now, my system lags around 20 milliseconds during games and then crashes. Can anyone assist me with this issue? Should clearing the CMOS resolve the problem?
I recommend that you clear CMOS like this:
Unplug the PC (PSU).
Then press the Power Button for at least 30 seconds.
(the on board ROG LEDs will sometimes flash after 20-30 seconds to show that all power has been drained from the board).
- Use a flat headed screwdriver to short the CLR CMOS (JBAT1) Jumper (Touch both jumper pins with the screwdriver) for at least 15 seconds.
JBAT1 Jumper location is shown on page 37 of your manual:

Plug the PC back in.
Press the Power Button to turn the PC on.
Repeatedly tap the DEL key
A screen should come up telling you to press the F1 key, do that.
Set the Optimized Default settings and Press OK (this is on...
What is the make and model of your power supply unit? Are you using a specific BIOS version for your motherboard? Do you experience any crashes, such as rebooting?
I suggest clearing the CMOS in this way:
Disconnect the PC from the power source (PSU).
After that, hold the Power Button for a minimum of 30 seconds.
(The internal ROG LEDs may occasionally flash after 20-30 seconds to confirm all power has been removed from the board.)
- Employ a flat-headed screwdriver to connect the CLR CMOS jumper (JBAT1) by touching both pins with the tool for at least 15 seconds.
The location of JBAT1 is indicated on page 37 of your manual:

Reconnect the PC.
Press the Power Button to restart it.
Repeatedly press the DEL key.
A menu should appear prompting you to press the F1 key, then do so.
Adjust the Optimized Default settings and click OK (found in the EXIT tab).
Save and exit the BIOS.
Press the DEL key once more to access the BIOS and modify any desired settings, then save and exit once more.
Then respond to Lutfij questions.
