Can anybody explain what PSS Support and NX Mode under the Advanced\CPU configuration are?
And how to configure (enable or disable) them during overclocking.
I found out this information on the 3 things the ASUS UEFI mentions, no clue what to do with the information though because it's too complex for me:

All I know is the default Level consistently triggers a specific BSOD error during Windows bootup at the exact same point in the bootup process, happens every time from a cold boot and intermittently from a warm reboot (began after Hyper V was installed) so I leave PSS Support turned off.
At a very rough guess, PSS Support might be needed for XFR boosting to work.
Edit:
Actually, I think I kinda get it now. PPC tells the O/S what Power States are available. PSS defines the Power States. PCT is what allows the O/S to control Power State. In the UEFI the PPC is configurable and the higher the value you set it to, the more levels of Power States are available for the O/S to dynamically change between.
On my motherboard the default for PPC (value of 0) limits the O/S to only the highest performance defined by PSS and my computer doesn't like that during Windows Bootup. Edit: nope, my PC just hates PSS Support. It still has a very, very high probability of triggering a "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED" on Windows bootup when it is enabled and set to any level.
