Windows 10: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT after a fresh install

Hello!

I've recently backed up my data and formatted my SSD to do a fresh install of Windows 10 before the May update. The installation went fine and after it I did the regular stuff that you would expect: downloaded updates for the OS, updated drivers and installed some light software. I've noticed that whenever I leave my PC on for too long (let's say 6 hours) or play a game for an hour (like Rainbow 6 Siege) the PC freezes up and I have to force shut it down. At one time I managed to get a BSOD saying "CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT". The percentage was stuck at 0% and I still had to force shut it. One important thing to note: I've been getting crashes ever since I switched from Windows 7 but they weren't as common as now. I've looked up many forums about this error and there seems to be a number of reasons behind it. Faulty RAM, broken SSD, bad cooling on the CPU (keep in mind nothing is overclocked). How do I go around dealing with this problem? Thank you in advance!

CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT After Leaving PC for 5-10 Minutes


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.

CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

I encountered the CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT blue screen error repeatedly when trying to complete a fresh Windows 10 Pro x64 installation on my PC. I was using the OEM copy of Windows 10 I'd purchased a few months ago on Amazon. I incorrectly
assumed it would be a relatively new version of Windows 10, but it wasn't...it was dated 7/10/2015. I simply couldn't get it to avoid the CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT blue screen error long enough for the OS to update and fix itself. I tried many workarounds,
but here was the fix that worked best for me:

• Download the Microsoft Window 10 Installation Media Creation Tool from here:
  
  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
  
  
• If you have a DVD burner, create an ISO. If you don't have a DVD burner, consider using a formatted USB flash drive (at least 8GB in size) to make a bootable USB drive installer. If you make an ISO, use this command to burn a new Windows 10 installation
  disc of the ISO:
  
  ISOBURN.EXE /Q "C:\Temp\Windows10x64-v10.0.16299.iso
  
  Note: Adjust the path in the above command to point to the Windows 10 ISO file you just created.
• Optionally, mount the ISO (right click on it and select "Mount", or just double-click on the ISO), then use this process to confirm the Windows version of the ISO: How can I identify OS Build number on an ISO?
  
  Note: the path used in the /WimFile command line parameter may need to be changed to "E:\sources\install.esd", where "E" is the drive letter for your mounted Windows 10 installation ISO image.
  
  My ISO was Windows version 10.0.16299, created on September 29, 2017.
• Optionally, compare this to the Windows version of installation disc you were originally using.
  
  Note: the path used in the /WimFile command line parameter may need to be changed to "D:\sources\install.wim", where "D" is the drive letter for your DVD drive.
  
  My OEM installation disc was Windows version 10.0.10240, created on July 10, 2015.
• Install Windows fresh from your new installation media. With luck, you shouldn't get the CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT blue screen error any more. After I installed fresh from the new ISO, my nVidia graphics card was autmatically recognized and the correct drivers
  installed. When I was using the OEM installation disc, the graphics card was not automatically recognized, and I had trouble getting the drivers installed correctly.
  
  Added bonus: since you used an up-to-date Windows 10 installer, you won't need to download or install too many Windows updates!
