bsod Clock_Watchdog_timeout BSOD on Boot?

[lightbringer416]

Hello all,

 

I need help with this current debacle as this is my 3rd PC build I've done and I made sure to use proper ESD protection when building this rig, upon booting i usually get a BSOD with CLOCK-WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT, sometimes i have enough time to get logged into windows before it blue screens again, but I have no experience with these kinds if issues upon Boot, any ideas what could be the problem? I've been able to do some Memory tests to determine that its not my RAM, and I've read on other places that this is usually caused by bad drivers, but I haven' had enough time to install any drivers, and I've removed my 3rd party anti-virus as well. I really hope its not my CPU or anything like that bud i have no other ideas what could be the issue. PLLSSSS HAALLLPP

Is your CPU overclocked?

No, i haven't messed with any clock speeds

Possible that you lost the silicon lottery and your motherboard probably has multi core enhancement (runs all CPU cores at max boost frequency) by default. This is causing it to crash more than likely.

Is that something I can change in my BIOS options?

Yes, but I forgot what it's called in Gigabyte motherboards (They kind of have a different name for every manufacturer).

 

You can tell if you run a CPU load (Intel Burn Test) and if your CPU runs at 4.1 GHz on all cores, you have it enabled by default. At stock it should be 3.4 GHz (or close to it looking at the techpowerup review)

 

Just checking, what speed RAM do you have? Did you enable the XMP profile (I think for AMD it's called AMP) to overclock the RAM?

My RAM is 3200 MHz, and i haven't done anything with clock speeds as of yet on my RAM or CPU
