    **Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive.**

    Just built this last night and installed Windows 10 Home on my SSD. All seemed to be going well. Unfortunately, after 5-10 minutes of use, it will either freeze forever or crash. When it crashes, sometimes I get the BSoD and it says "CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT". When it freeze, nothing. I really have no clue what the problem is as I followed multiple guides when putting the parts together. Per the crashdump, ntoskrnl.exe seems to be the driver causing it?

    **List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.**

    Here’s a list of everything I’ve tried:

    Updated Motherboard’s Driver

    Updated BIOS

    Checked hardware cables/RAM were properly installed

    Ran Memtest 4 passes, no errors at all

    Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool, no problems

    In BIOS turned on XMP for “1”

    Reinstalled Windows 10

    Tried to do Windows Updates there are some but obviously the crashes present it. For some
    reason I have no internet in safemode with networking, despite having both wireless and wired and
    disabling them to see if the other worked.

    Ran the System File Checker no problems

    RAM runs at 3200 MHZ, CPU is 1.256V

    Attached are three crash dumps

    Any help is massively appreciated!

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

    New Built PC freeze 5 minutes after use and "CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT_" crash

    Constant PC crashing/freezing

    Hello!

    Brief description of problem: Over the past few months my PC has been randomly crashing/freezing. It doesn't seem to matter how large of a load it is trying to take on; whether i'm only writing a paper while listening to music, or i'm playing Counter Strike on one monitor and have multiple processes open on the other. The up time ranges anywhere between 1 minute to 12 hours.

    PC Specs:
    CPU - AMD FX-6300
    RAM - 16gb HyperX ddr3-1886
    Video Card - Radeon R7 370
    MOBO - GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P
    HHD - 1 TB
    Power Supply - 500w

    Continued Description of Problem: I recently ran a memtest on my ram and found out that one of the sticks were bad(It has been replaced with the ram currently listed above) this resolved about half of the issues I was facing. Before the ram was replaced I was getting a multitude of blue screens alongside the random freezing. The next and most recent step I've taken to restore my PC was replacing the hard drive. It doesn't seem to have fixed anything; one change I noticed after installing windows onto the new hard drive is that the time/timestamp on any browser, program or desktop doesn't display correctly. It has been replaced with some odd symbols- ex; Screenshot - 16eb15deb6d9e5e2fcaae2618a12b0ce - Gyazo , Screenshot - 63eff3026946796a175cdb11e13473b4 - Gyazo . With all this in mind I am assuming that we can exclude the RAM and HHD from potential problems.

    Additional Details on the Crashing/Freezing: As stated before it doesn't matter how much strain is on the PC, but crashing does seem more prevalent when playing games. When It does freeze/crash and there is audio playing the video will freeze but the audio will just mimic the last frequency it received. Sometimes it freezes and will go back to normal(This is a pretty rare occurrence).

    Thank you in advance for any advice/help; If you would like any additional information on specs/freeze details.
