Good evening everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm facing a significant issue with my build setup. Recently, I tried assembling my first Ryzen system and kept encountering a clock watchdog timeout error. When I'm just browsing or playing light games, the PC freezes and then displays blue screens. Since it's a budget build, I wanted to test AMD's offerings. Could anyone suggest possible solutions? Thank you in advance for your help.

I ran cpuz and noticed the RAM isn't displaying an XMP profile, which makes me wonder if that might be contributing to the issue.

Are there any outdated parts? It might be a failing hard disk. If your operating system isn't installed on the hard drive, try connecting it separately. If that doesn't help, consider reinstalling Windows entirely.

Good day. All parts are brand new and I've reinstalled Windows several times. I'm using the OS from my SSD, with the HDD holding music files and low-end game data. I've run health checks on the drives, and everything looks fine. I've swapped the motherboard a few times too, but the blue screen still appears, though it happens less often. This morning I noticed in cpuz it isn't running at the expected time. I've replaced the RAM about three times already, and the problem persists. I'm curious why the BIOS on both motherboards doesn't show XMP for RAM, since I'm currently using it.
