So for a while now, I've been having issues with my computer just randomly crashing while doing something intensive, like playing BFV, and it'll just blue screen with the error code "CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT" and other times, I've gotten different codes, but I can't recall them.This issue has been occurring since I swapped from my Ryzen 5 1600 to my new 8700K, so I think it could be something to do with the PSU (Is an EVGA NEX750G powerful enough to supply an RTX 2080 and 8700K at 4.8Ghz?). But other than that, I don't really have any other theories as to why it could be crashing. I've updated all my drivers, run stability checks, and nothing seems to provide a definitive answer.

Have you tried running a couple days without the OC? I mean, "clock watchdog timeout" definitely looks like a potential OC issue.

After putting it at stock settings, the issue seems to have stopped, which is weird, because I did it one time before and the issue persisted, but now I can't replicate the problem. Oh well, I guess, I don't really have time to dwell on this that much, but thanks for the help! :)
