I have been playing games on my computer, and some games like:

dying light 2

Cod mw3

battlefield 2042

AND MORE

Give me a bsod with the Stop code: CLOCK WATCHDOG TIMEOUT, my computer will freeze for about 10-30 seconds before i get this bsod after playing the game for about 30 minutes if im lucky. all my drivers are updated and i would like some help fixing this. Every time i bsod i do not get a minidump.

I have also had this happen randomly on my desktop, but its not very often.

i have 32 gb ram

    The computer caused a BSOD after activating driver verifier ?

    If so see if your computer is creating minidump files.

    These files are in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

    Copy any files you have to your desktop and store them in a ZIP file. Then upload the ZIP file to the cloud (OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc...), choose to share it, and get the link.

    Post the link to the ZIP file here.

    My name is Jonathan Deives. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    To try to force Windows 10 to show failed drivers and produce minidump files, turn on Driver Verifier.

    Before you run Driver Verifier, please create a new System Restore Point.
