Windows 10: Brand new Build. BSod CLock_Watchdog_Timeout and Freezes.

any idea how I can get online? Its just idle right now but if I could somehow het the netowkr connected I could at least browse on it to give it something to do

 

Now that is interesting Keith. If there's a hardware weakness Linux will find it . I'll be around all evening (afternoon to you *Biggrin)

Can you give it a good hammering in Mint (Gimp) etc. Copy a photo to a flash drive and you should find it quite easily within Mint.

Also find out what Bios revision is installed.

Fingers and toes crossed.

I always respond to notification emails in 5 minutes.

 

Give me ten mins, I'll pop into Mint

 

I'm no Linux expert ( one may pop up) I doubt if this will work but go Menu/ Administration/ Driver Manager and see if it picks anything up.

Try and import a huge photo via a flash drive and give it a good "Gimping" try to crash the bugger.

Give it half an hour and if it behaves just reconnect your Windows OS drive and see what happens.

 

Just plugged in a USB drive with an image to try. Found a explorer type program and opened it, started searching for the drive. didnt see it. moved the mouse over to the right lower area to try to see if there was any way to access it there and the whole thing froze up.

tried cntrl alt del but assuming that doesnt work on linux. either way it didnt work, its totally locked/frozen

 

What Bios revision is installed ?

 

Have you tried clearing the CMOS and loading setup defaults in the Bios?

 

yup, did that yesterday when you guys suggested it

 

How do you feel about updating to F5? the procedure is on page 85 of the manual. Basically format a flash drive fat32 , extract the download to it. Enter the BIOS find the Qflash utility and do it from there.

Double check this is the right motherboard, http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...?pid=5481#bios

 

I can do it. I updated it to F4

 

What's to lose, give it a whirl

 

Just a thought, but seeing as you have a Gigabyte motherboard can you either A) List all of the Gigabyte utilities you have installed or B) upload new logs by running the DM Log Collector again and attaching the resulting .zip to your next post. Gigabyte utilities are notorious for causing 0x124 BSODs.

It's something worth ruling out.

This driver could also do with updating, another thing to rule out as it has been known to caus issues in the past.
