Hi.

Just assembled a ryzen pc and it boots up fine but after a few minutes everything freezes, the few times that it showed blue screen the error clock watchdog showed up. 

Any idea what it might be? No xmp profile is loaded and no overclock

What are your full PC specs? CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT is most likely caused by a GPU error, memory error, or, a failed update on some Ryzen CPUs. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)

Try booting into safe mode and see if it still happens. That will tell us if the problem is hardware/windows related, or if the problem is driver related.

A Watchdog Timer is a timer that automatically "resets" the processor if the timer itself isn't reset within a certain time frame. These are used for "safe" recovery from hangs. There are a few different reasons that would cause the watchdog timer to timeout and reset the machine.

ENCRYPTION IS NOT A CRIME
