A clock generator is an oscillator. It creates the pulse necessary for synchronous circuits to work. The clockgen on your mobo generates the clock for all your busses. Memory bus, pci, etc. You do not buy a new clockgen to...

The reason a lot of people have that problem is because it can be caused by a lot of things. Your cpu could be toast. Your gfx card could be shot. Your motherboard could have failed. A component in the power supply could have finally...
