Issue with clock watchdog timeout and other BSOD occurrences
Issue with clock watchdog timeout and other BSOD occurrences
Hello! I’ve owned a PC since 2020 and haven’t faced any issues for three years straight. Last year I upgraded my CPU and motherboard, and recently purchased a 2TB WD Black sn770 SSD. It performed well initially but now I’m seeing frequent BSODs, mainly due to Clock_watchdog_timeout. I’ve tried overclocking with ASUS, XMP settings, and MSI afterburner, but nothing resolved the problem. After a fresh Windows 11 install, it didn’t help. A memory test confirmed RAM is fine, BIOS update didn’t assist, and I ran MemTest86—still no issues. My stress is mounting; I’m unsure if the issue lies with my CPU or the new SSD. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated! If you have any thoughts, feel free to share.
Please send the minicrash dump files here. I'm ready to examine them and gather any information you need.
These were the just two documents in the Minidump directory, please confirm if that's enough. 051123-8015-01.dmp 051123-11781-01.dmp
Set static 1.3v vcore and static 45 multiplier on every pcore with static 35 multiplier on all ecores. Execute prime95 largeffts and check for crashes. If crashes occur, it suggests a RAM problem; if not, revert vcore and multiplier back to defaults or auto, then run prime95 smallest ffts to test for instability.
Thanks, but a firewall problem is blocking the downloads. I’ll try again once I’m back tonight.
Sure, let’s break it down further. Understanding the steps requires looking at both the destination and the methods available. Since you prefer a more detailed approach, we’ll explore possible routes, considerations, and options that suit someone who isn’t aiming for extreme modifications.
Enter the bios by rapidly pressing delete when turning on your PC and continue until you reach the bios. Then capture a screenshot, and I’ll provide more specific guidance.
Access the AI tweaker options and adjust the voltage levels as needed.
These incidents involved DPC_Watchdog_Timeout. During both failures, the culprit was PPM (Processor Power Management). Combined with Clock_Watchdog_Timeouts, it would be wise to check if you're overclocking your CPU. If so, remove it. Even if not, consider updating your chipset driver. It seems you're already using the newest BIOS, which is another factor to investigate. Clock_Watchdog_Timeouts might indicate a faulty CPU, but DPC crashes seem more related to software or overclocking. Unless you've encountered WHEA crashes, it's unlikely RAM is the issue—unless XMP settings are pushing too high for your CPU.
