Hello everyone,

 

I'm a silent reader here who unfortunately doesn't know what to do.

 

A brief history: Together with a friend, I built a new system for him. The installation was no problem and the system ran for about 2 weeks without any problems.

Suddenly the system showed a blue screen with the message: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT.

 

I was able to fix this relatively quickly by rebooting the system and installing the latest drivers.

About 24 hours later, the error occurred again with my friend.

 

Now I just can't find the error or the cause of the error.

I already...

- installed another hard drive(different NVMe place, a SATA SSD)

- updated the bios

- reinstalled Windows completely

- reinstalled the CPU cooler again with new thermal paste

- used another graphics card

- used only 1 bar of RAM

- completely different RAM

- enabled the RAM with XMP

- set the ram to 5600MHz

- set the ram to 4600MHz

- set the ram to auto

- ran memtest86 (passed, no errors)

- reseted the bios 

- checked the ssd with crystaldiskinfo

 

but the error comes right back sooner or later.

 

The components:

Intel Core i5 13600KF
ASUS Prime Z790-P (new BIOS update is done)
Gainward RTX 3060 Ti
be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4
Corsair 32GB DDR5-5600 (2x16GB)
Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB
be quiet! Straight Power 11 CM 850W
Windows 11 Pro

 

All installed in a beautiful be quiet! Pure Base 500.

 

The system sometimes doesn't even boot up to the desktop and freezes completely before the password is entered.
