So I have been told mixed things when it comes to two parts that I currently run my system with. According to some people my motherboard (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-M5A78L-M-USB3-Motherboard-Socket/dp/B0054U7HIO/ref=dp_cp_ob_computers_title_0) does not support my processor (http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-HDZ965FBGMBOX-Phenom-II-965/dp/B002SRQ214/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1378756283&sr=1-1&keywords=amd+phenom+ii+x4)

I have been told that I have a 125W processor and the mobo only supports 95W CPU's. My question is, how much does this affect the operation of my computer, do I need to change it? If so, what with? Finally, will this cause my games to crash randomly sometimes with "display driver has stopped responding and has fully recovered" and sometimes the whole computer to crash?
