Windows 10: Playing any game (Clock_watchdog_timeout) and then (irql_not_less_or_e

ok thank you so much. I am going to bed soon. I will set up that mem test prog and set it to run before I crash. I will report back tomorrow. And again I greatly appreciate you taking the time to help with my issue. And I will definitely report back tomorrow.

 

OK, great. Just let me know and we'll go from there.

 

Ok I'm back. You were not kidding about time frame. As of now it is at 18 hours, 6 passes, 0 errors.

 

It really shouldn't take that long. It is a long test, but I would not think that long.

 

Yea it finally got done about an hour ago. 8 complete passes took 22 hours with 12 gig ram and 0 errors. I got to thinking earlier, could an underpowered or defective PSU cause that irql_ error? Because if i remember correctly when I got the PSU 3 years ago I believe its somewhere around 400w.

 

400W is the minimum recommended PSU SOURCE Over time they can lose some power though. Go into BIOS and give me the readings for the +12V, +5V and +3.3V.

 

I wrote down all the voltages of all i could find in bios.( I pulled these strait from bios)
vcore=1.361
Vldt=1.361
5von=5.086
Vdimm=1.560
5vsys=5.032
12v=12.051
Nb-core volt=1.30
Nb-pcie volt=1.10
I could find no mention of 3.3 voltages

Now speccy reports different voltages (Just out of curiosity I checked speccy after I checked bios)
Voltage
+3.3V = 3.312 V
CPU CORE = 0.840 V
VIN2 = 2.528 V
VIN3 =1.376 V
+5V =4.961 V
+12V =10.296 V
VIN6 =2.208 V
VSB3V = 3.328 V
CMOS BATTERY= 3.280 V
You would know better than me if speccy is accurate but those numbers look bad lol.

 

The Speccy Voltages on the +12V rail are real bad. The readings in BIOS are OK. I would tend to believe the BIOS readings. Most software is not real reliable. Please go to Control Panel (Yes, Windows 10 still has it, so far) in Category view > Uninstall a program and post a screenshot (https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1...en-forums.html) of all of the programs you have installed. I would like to see if you have any problem programs installed.

Why do you have AMD CCC and Nvidia Graphics drivers? Your System Specs only list an Nvidia card.

 

Probably when I upgraded the mobo chipset drivers it was part of the package. The chipset for my mobo is the AMD 9 series. The drivers from the manufactures web site was the same chip set drivers but dated 2011. And yes all I do have is an nvidia gtx 960. I did at one point about 4 months ago have An ATI HD 7850 that died. But when it died I bought this current card. But before I installed the new card I did a complete system wipe . Is amd ccc only for gpu? Other than that, that is a good question. Are the amd chipset drivers package supposed to seperate from amd catalyst? This is the update I used.

Chipset

 

I don't have an AMD System, but as far as I am aware, Catalyst Control Center is a Graphics function. I'm sure I can find out though.

 

Yea I would greatly appreciate it if you could find out.

Update.
From what I have read is that amd ccc is just a suite they use and that the chipset and GPU is indeed separate.

 

I don't have an AMD System, but as far as I am aware, Catalyst Control Center is a Graphics function. I'm sure I can find out though.

This is the website for your board http://www.jetway.com.tw/jw/motherbo...5&proname=HA18 . But, they do not list drivers by OS and don't say what OS they are for.

 

Yea I know. They use that AMD chipset drivers. From what I understand is that when you DL the driver from that site it DL's as amd catalyst but dated 2011. Because it is an AMD 9x chipset all the updated chipset drivers are on the AMD website.
