Clock_Watchdog_Timeout Help? :3

[LordChristof]

My computer pretty much blue screens every time my computer goes to sleep. It also happened a few other times while I was using adobe premiere, or after effects, but It happens pretty frequently after my computer comes out of sleep. It's not everytime, but it does happen a lot. I've done some googling, but came here for help. I have 0 idea where to start with this. So if someone could give me instructions on how to troubleshoot this.. That'd be nice.

I saw one thread of someone posting their dump file so I'm going to go ahead and post that.

watchdog timer is a timer that auto resets a cpu when it finishes counting so the processor has to clear the counter every now and then, unless it hangs then the WDT will force restart it

 

as for it being used in pc, never knew and i've never seen this error before

 

maybe microcodes or windows or bios needs an update?

Is your CPU overclocked?

I had that issue happen when I had an unstable CPU overclock. Had to add a bit more voltage and then I was good to go.

I updated my bios last night.. and turned up my core voltage on my cpu.. No crashes since... So hopefully one of those fixed it.

probably like what others said, its an unstable OC, so turning up the voltage probably did it
