Blue Screen - Clock Watchdog Timeout Error

Question

As the title, I keep getting a Blue Screen - Clock Watchdog Timeout Error every time I attempt to initiate a game.

Computer seems to run fine without issues with other tasks but every time I enter a game, the fan speeds up and at some point the blue screen kicks in.

See minidump file 083024-6843-01.dmp

Answer 1

Go to the support page for your PC or Motherboard on the manufacturers website, then from there, download and install the version of Chipset drivers they recommend.

Answer 2

Hi Dave,

My computer has a K processor and an Asus motherboard with AI overclocking set as Auto. I have not personally set up an overclocking mode or XMP profile, so I’m unsure if this is the standard mode…

The computer does have a good 10 years, but it runs everything just fine, and as an example I have been playing Anno most of the afternoon without issues.

I installed CoreTemp and temperatures do seam to reach over 85degrees on some cores sometimes

Answer 3

That minidump file indicated a driver associated to your Intel processor caused that crash.

Are you overclocking your processor, or is there any XMP profile set on your RAM in BIOS?

Answer 4

Hi, I just got another Blue Screen, however this time it was WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR 090124-6968-01.dmp

Same context, when playing a game it suddenly triggered

Answer 5

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Your one minidump file just indicated generic errors, there is nothing indicated as the cause of that crash.

If this is an on-going problem, do you have any more minidump files available that you can upload for analysis?
