    I've been having this issue of getting a clock_watchdog_timeout BSOD when opening up modern video games graphically intense ones Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, ect. I have updated all my drivers, including my CPU drivers, graphics drivers, and BIOS. I know its not due to overheating because it happens as soon as the game loads actual graphics not the pre-rendered loading screens.Any help would be appreciated!Specs:Windows 11Motherboard: Gigabyte z790 Aorus Elite AXCPU: Intel i9-13900k, 3000 Mhz, 24 core, 32 logical processorsRAM: 96 GBGraphics Driver: NVIDIA 3070 TISto

  2. When I updated to windows 10 my old 101 puzzle and logic games are not working

    Hello,

    I appreciate if you could answer a
    few questions to narrow down the issue and to provide you better assistance.

    • How did you installed these games on your Computer? Is it through CD/DVD or Windows Store?
    • When you say, "old 101 puzzle" are you referring to Microsoft Jigsaw puzzles?

    As you have already tried different troubleshooting steps with no avail, I suggest you to contact the game manufacturer regarding this matter for assistance and check if this helps.

    Write to us with the above information and status of the issue to assist you further.

    Thank You.

    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
