BSOD CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

Anonymous

Hello, I just got this PC from PC Specialist a few days ago and I'm having problems with it already. Anytime I try to play VRChat (The only game I've had the issue with rn) in VR my computer will freeze then bluescreen after around 30minutes of playing with the stop code CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT.

I'm very new to PCs/Software & things like that since this is my first PC.

If anyone has any tips about what I should do please let me know! :)

    Hi Yumi Woomie

    To turn off Verifier, open Command Prompt and run these two commands:

    verifier /reset

    verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail

    Hi Yumi Woomie

    Your minidump files just indicate memory (RAM) corruption no specific driver is listed

    To try to force Windows 10 show any faulting drivers, the best option would be to turn on Driver Verifier, let your PC crash 3 times, then you must turn off Driver Verifier, and finally, upload any newly created minidump files

    Hi Yumi Woomie,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Please check to see if your PC is producing any minidump files, I will check those to see if they provide any insight into a potential cause of the system crashes.

    Open Windows File Explorer.

    Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump

    Copy any minidump files onto your Desktop, then zip those up.

    Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive, DropBox... etc.), then choose to share those and get a share link.

    Then post the link here to the zip file, so we can take a look for you.
