So I'm trying to update to anniversary build of Windows 10. After restarting the computer, the update is installing. It freeze at 23% and gives me a BSOD clock_timeout_watchdog so I assume its overclock. I went default settings and turn off Turbo Boost. I tried again and this time it just freeze at 23% with no BSOD. Restarting brings me to previous build.

Now I can't figure it out, I've googled and did sfc/ scannow, fixed opencll.dll. Cleaned the registry with ccleaner, deleted stuff in Windows/softwaredistribution.

Try disabling XMP on your RAM; I've had this issue previously and it was RAM related.

I'm on it coach.

Disabled XMP, problem is still the same.

This could be a sign from a higher power telling you not to update. LOL. From the few forum threads I have checked out, Im wondering if my Windows install is going to be screwed again after this update.

if it fails to update then don't bother the new version is crap, slow and some programs have to be reinstalled to work again

If your Windows Install a clean install or and upgrade? If its an upgrade then you may have to do a clean install. Many threads I have read suggested this. I havent had an upgrade install work before, all of them have failed.
