Windows 10: BSOD clock_watchdog_timeout

So I got this bsod CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT. PC froze at 30% while it was auto restarting.
Added 2 more ram sticks and this happens a day after.
Had issue with the ram's software (to control RGB).
They are G.skill Trident Z RGB. Installed the software after adding ram, pc froze couple times within 10 minutes. Had to uninstall and it was ok.

Can someone help me with the minidump read, thank you.

:)

 

Multiple BSOD Problems (maybe caused by Hardware, Driver)

And another BSOD. This time "CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (101)". I uploaded the DMP File to the Subfolder.

 

BSOD [CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT]

Still no change I think im gonna try to just reset my system and see if that fixes it

 

Do you still need help with this?

If so, the first thing to do is uninstall the software and see if that makes a difference. If not then remove the new ram and see if that helps. If it does then swap in one of the new ram modules in place of one of the old ones and see what happens. Continue testing till you find the one causing the problem.

I can't see testing all the ram as it would take a couple days to test 32GB. Swapping and testing the ram is a better method in your case I think.

THe last dump only shows 16GB of ram, when did you add the additional 16GB, before or after the BSODs occurred?

 

BSOD happened after I added 2x8 gb ram.
haven't got the bsod again until now.

 

Run dm_log_collector again and upload the zip file. Let's see if any new dump was saved.

 

One new dump:
Code: BugCheck 7F, {8, ffff8280938b7b30, ffff8280938ddb20, fffff800cd0602f7} *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for win32k.sys *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for win32k.sys Probably caused by : memory_corruption Followup: memory_corruption ---------[/quote] Code: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f) This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that is always instant death (double fault). The first number in the bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc) Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes: If kv shows a taskGate use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv. Else if kv shows a trapframe use .trap on that value Else .trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken (on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap) Endif kb will then show the corrected stack. Arguments: Arg1: 0000000000000008, EXCEPTION_DOUBLE_FAULT Arg2: ffff8280938b7b30 Arg3: ffff8280938ddb20 Arg4: fffff800cd0602f7[/quote] Almost surely defective RAM. Try the RAM swap and test process I mentioned in my earlier post to identify the one (or two but probably one) module causing the problem.

 

how do you actually test the ram? I used the windows memory diagnostic tool, didn't show any error.

 

ok, removed the 2 new sticks. will keep you updated.

 

We recommend running memtest86+ but with 32GB of ram as I said, it would take several days to run a 8 passes which is the minimum recommended for a thorough test. If you want, you can remove the old ram and install the new ram then run memtest86+ overnight and see what it shows:
===================================================
Follow this tutorial: MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums

MemTest86+ is a diagnostic tool designed to test Random Access Memory (RAM) for faults. MemTest86+ will verify that:

• RAM will accept and keep random patterns of data sent to it
• There are no errors when different parts of memory try to interact
• There are no conflicts between memory addresses

Memtest86+ runs from bootable media to isolate the RAM from the system, no other components are taken into account during the test.



Warning MemTest86+ needs to run for at least 8 passes to be anywhere near conclusive, anything less will not give a complete analysis of the RAM.

If you are asked to run MemTest86+ by a Ten Forums member make sure you run the full 8 passes for conclusive results. If you run less than 8 passes you will be asked to run it again.



Note MemTest86+ has been known to discover errors in RAM in later passes than the eighth pass. This is for information only; if you feel there is a definite problem with the RAM and 8 passes have shown no errors feel free to continue for longer.

Running 8 passes of MemTest86+ is a long and drawn out exercise and the more RAM you have the longer it will take. It's recommended to run MemTest86+ just before you go to bed and leave it overnight.

Take a picture when done and post in the forum please.
