Windows 10: BSOD while gaming, multiple times.

Good day,I have been suffering from BSODs over the past few days. I assume it is graphics driver related, just because it always seems to be graphics related when I reach out for assistance. It seems like Nvidia just does not care that much about their mid and low tier products. If anyone can help me with the steps needed to upload a dump file and view, it would be greatly appreciated. I will list my specs below if this will help. Thank you in advance for any help in the matter.CPU - Intel Core i7 11700kGPU - Gigabyte Eagle 3060ti OC 8GBMoBo - Gigabyte Aorus Z590i Ultra ITXRAM - T-Force Vulcan

BSOD CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (& Others) On Some Games

Hi,

I've had Multiple BSOD's While playing (High End) games. While playing games such as GTA IV or Player Unknown i have had multiple BSOD, this only seems to happen on games that require a lot of power to run. I have played games like ORI & Blind Forest and Counterstrike for 4 hours+ Without any errors.

Specs:
Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.00GHz
16.0GB Dual-Channel
ASUS Z170-P
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti
Windows 10 Home 64-bit

BlueScreen View:

Hal.dll
Ntoskrnl.exe
IntelPPm.sys

BSOD Exprienced:

Clock_Watchdog_Timeout
Driver_IRQL_NOT Less or Equal
IRQL_NOT Less or Equal
Kmode_exception_Not_Handled

After contacting my supplier he suggested a number of things to try fixing the issue, and now he has got to the point of suggesting i need a new graphics card. I do however not believe however the issue is solely a faulty graphics card.

I have tried the following fixes:

• Reformatted Windows
• uninstall all Nvidia and Graphics drivers and fresh install
• Installed all updated Drivers
• Memtest (4 Hours)
• GE Benchmark

I presume someone would want to look at the minidumps? Please let me know and i will edit on to this post, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Connor
