The CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT error means that your processor is having trouble with cooperation from its cores and threads.

 

Threads are tasks taken by cores, and some cores can take many threads simultaneously. The problem here is that a thread is waiting for a proper response from another thread — or a core is waiting for a response from another core — and those responses aren’t coming. Therefore, you get this BSoD error.

 

While this is a processor problem, this can be caused by two things: a driver error, which is very likely if you’re using Windows 8, or the OS itself isn’t playing nice with the processor.

 

How do I fix it?

If so, just use System Restore to go back to a point where the system worked. Be wary of using any new devices that may have caused the problem.

If you’re able to boot into Safe Mode when your computer starts, run Driver Reviver to update all your drivers to their latest version. There’s a good chance this will clear up the problem.

You should also use Windows Update, and if you aren’t already using the latest device driver, install that as well.

Drivers are what is used to get your devices like your keyboard to interact with your computer, and while some misconfigured drivers can result in bad performance, bad drivers overwhelmingly result in BSoDs like CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT.

Windows Update can usually solve these problems, but installing new drivers is always advised if you don’t already have the latest version. You should also update your BIOS, which you can find at your motherboard manufacturer’s website, and install from there.

If, however, you can’t boot into your computer at all or this error is still occurring, you’re going to have to get personal help from your Motherboard manufacturer.

 

(Motherboard Bios - Have you gone into it and changed anything?) maybe go back to defaults (usually a hotkey like F7 within the Bios) and then try again.

Thanks for the reply but I cant get into windows I cant install any drivers or updates

Then get into your Bios, load defaults, reinstall windows and then in specific order.

Install the ChipsetMotherboard drivers, restart, then LAN if not included in the chipset drivers.

Restart

Sound & GPU drivers can now go on, restart.

 

Get WIndows Updates

Restart, Get more Windows Updates (Once it has updated something, Windows Update will wanna update those updates sometimes)

Once all this is done and dusted. Reboot and Enjoy your system.

 

Corrupted Install possibly causing these issues.... Format & Re-Install with the above order.

I understand its gunna be a hassle, more less of a hassle than having a machine that don't work.

That part isn't my advice, and thats a shame,..it's part of the post I got source text from, however due to many apps like that existing I figured it was legit as the advice I got was correct otherwise.

Well so far so good right?,.. without the WIFI installed, it works like a charm so yes do the driver shuffle, chipset, lan, sound, gpu, restarts between each.. windows updates,.. restart.

If there is another viable slot for it on your mobo try that, or maybe buy another WIFI card.?

But.. progress. Let me know how it all goes and we can go further.
