Clock Watchdog Timeout

[Godrick]

Hi!t
 

Recently RMA'd my H100v2 as it had a faulty pump, received my new one have installed it, load into bios now temps seem to back to normal so that part of it seems okay.

 

However i can not boot into windows at all, as soon as it hits the login screen i hit with a blue screen with the error code 'Clock watchdog timeout'.

Does anyone have any tips how to fix this please?

My build;

6700k overclocked

H100i V2

GTX1070 evga

Rm750i Powersupply

Corsair ram

Windows 10

 

Please help and thank you!

I've gotten that issue when I have a CPU overclock that is unstable (using an i5-6600k air cooled at 4.7 Ghz) try reverting your OC and see if it helps.  It may be that your cooler isn't seated properly, or that a core didn't get enough thermal paste and is hitting CPU temperature limits which causes the CPU to not hit the desired clock at boot and thus the error.

Can you provide details on your OC? Try to load the default settings in the bios and then boot into windows.
