    BSoD clock watchdog timeout when playing games.


    I have been getting a blue screen when I play some certain games. It seems to happen with more memory intensive ones but that isn't always the case.It happens fairly randomly, I would say more often when a lot of things are happening on screen or a lot is being processed but not all of the time. Baldur's Gate 3, Enshrouded and Valheim are the games it usually happens with. In contrast I have been able to play Satisfactory, a game that is just as or more intensive on my system, without any problems.Here is a link to the Minidump and my system info: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/t2kp27nsfj5u9a1

  3. BSOD Clock Watchdog Timeout

    So the past few weeks i have been experiencing the clock watchdog timeout bsod while trying to play specific games. others work just fine for hours but some crash while on a loading screen. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are a few things i've tried:

    • DDU wipe
    • windows memory test
    • sys /scannow for corrupt files
    • reset bios (I still kept rebar on but did not enable xmp)
    • full anti virus scan
    PC specs:

    12600k

    gigabyte z690 gaming x ddr4

    pny 3070 lhr

    4x8gb corsair ram

    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.)
