Windows 10: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT 101

My PC has been crashing to a BSOD recently, I don't really know what's the issue but I put in the .dmp file into WinDbg and here what's it says:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wcyq22WUul_SGhFHMUUgZLTlNsUdBAY4xsaW5sGHE54/edit?usp=sharing

CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT BSOD (101)

CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (101) can be BIOS related issues. I had that showing with my last motherboard starting with a more recent BIOS version as they changed some settings around and the computer has a not fully compliant PSU for the CPU and that particular motherboard didn't deal with that automatically.

If on AMD motherboard, the chipset driver direct from AMD might improve it as well.

But, it could be a different reason for you. Some other things I noted for it but I'd regulate to much lesser possibilities. Some people may have a hardware problem. Heat could possibly be a reason. And voltage to CPU.

"The specified processor is not processing interrupts. Typically, this occurs when the processor is nonresponsive or is deadlocked."

Thus, highly likely BIOS related. Hardware can't work without it nor can it work correctly if it doesn't work correctly.

Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
   • Double click the executable to open it
   • Click on the button shown below

If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window.

The 0x101(CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT) is mostly caused by BIOS or hardware problem, the challenge is to find software problems.
I suggest to update your BIOS.
