Windows 10: BSOD Clock watchdog timeout

Just when I am became convinced that my relatively new desktop XPS 8950 is a lemon, this happens. No clue what to do. None whatsoever. By the way, it is still at zero per cent. It is not moving one iota. For the record I was using photoshop lightroom. I have a tb worth of disk space and 800 gb free.I have no choice but to do a hard restart which is probably going to make things worse. I should just throw this machine in the trash and switch to Mac. And since my other account was banned for no reason, I am hoping to get an answer. I cannot fix this because the instructions all say, restart in

BSOD Clock watchdog timeout Windows 10

Found my fix:

1. Downloaded a current (April 2018) ISO of Windows 10 64-bit from Microsoft

1. Downgraded product from "Enterprise" to "Pro"
   
2. HIGHLY LIKELY issue with UPDATES for Spectre and Meltdown
   

Windows now works!! those new updates are not installed yet (unless they are part of the new ISO i used.)

Windows crashed with clock watchdog timeout bsod

After recently getting rid of BSOD caused by faulty drivers on my Windows 10 laptop, I started getting clock watchdog timeout and IRQL timeout BSOD, but the minidump was created only for the clock watchdog error.

I have attached the minidump file and the system information file here

Appreciate any help in this matter.

Thanks
