Error Code: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

Question

Hey, whenever i try to play VRChat my game will bluescreen after around 20-30 minutes. I've never experienced issues like this so i'm lost on what to do. i've looked it up, followed what the steps say yet no change. Any tips on how to fix? I get the error code: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

Answer 1

Since AMD cpus require the corresponding software to set up overclocking, you can refer to this link:

AMD Ryzen™ Master Utility for Overclocking Control | AMD

Download the software to check the overclocking Settings.

Hello, Manson.
Apologies for not responding i completely forgot about this. I've went to the AMD website and done everything i needed to do.
A couple things were very outdated, i've updated them, same results. I recently did the amdppm now i've done the amd updates.
I don't know anything about the PC CPU overclocking or the voltage settings. If you could tell me where to go that'd be perfect.

Hi Zeke Gonzales， Welcome to Microsoft Community

I would like to confirm with you whether this game has graphics Settings, usually encountered intelppm or amdppm means PC CPU power drive problems.

It may be a lack of power supply, or it may be caused by voltage instability, perhaps you can start to investigate the problem from "your PC's CPU has turned on the overclocking option" or "refer to the CPU voltage Settings provided by the AMD website, manually set the relevant parameters".

Here is the link for AMD to download the chipset and CPU driver: https://www.amd.com/en/support

You can search for drivers based on the CPU model of your PC and download them to see the results.

Sadly it doesn't seem as it fixed anything. I stayed in the game for as long as it usually lets me, 20-30 minutes. Then my pc crashed

Just changed the value of it and reset the computer. Also backed up the file just incase. Am i free to play now or is there another step?
