PC Crashing & BSOD

[OfficialJsP]

I have just built my friends new PC tonight but for some reason it keeps cashing without an error code, it has also blue screened once with the error code CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT. The only thing I think off that could be causing the crashes could be driver related or power cables not connected properly which I will be checking tomorrow. But as for the blue screen I am unsure of what could be causing that to happen.

 

PC Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 1200 

Motherboard: Asus PRIME B350M-A

RAM: Crucial 8GB DDR4 2133Mhz

GPU: Gainward GTX 770

PSU: Corsair CX550M (2015 version)

HDD: Seagate 1TB 7200RPM

 

Any common issues that I could be over looking here? Any help is appreciated thanks.

Check the clock and date. I'd be shocked and surprised if it was, but you can never be too sure.

Do they have an HDD or SSD?

It could also be a bad drive (or bad sectors which hold critical textures or other game files) that cannot be read off of. My suspicion (although I may be wrong) is that a part of the game cannot be read from the drive, and thus is giving that timeout error. Have you tried reinstalling?
