Hi guys. I just today built a new Ryzen system, and it managed to post which made me incredibly happy as it's my first build. But come the time I installed Windows 10 via USB, things started going awry. I am continuously getting hard locks that give me a BSOD error; 'CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT' roughly 5 minutes after logging into windows. I've already looked at other open posts about this... just wanted to see if there was anything I could do here.


I have attempted the following:
 

-Updating drivers including display, ethernet (which actually completed), disk, CPU (the computer would BSOD with the same error prior to the update completing for any other updates). Did not fix.
-Updating Windows (Hung at 95% then BSOD). Did not fix.
-Checking drivers through Device Manager and Verifier. Did not indicate any problems.
-Flashing the BIOS to the newest version as per the support website. Did not fix.
-Running the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to see if the RAM had bad sectors (results came up clean). Did not indicate any problems.

 

*Reinstalling Windows 10 with freshly-downloaded Windows Installation Media did not work. My working computer decided not to accept a fresh install onto the flash drive, giving me an Access Denied error.


None of these options have abated the symptoms and I'm at my wit's end.


Specs;


CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, 4 cores 8 Threads @ 3.5GHz + Stock Cooler (AMD Wraith Spire). Has not been overclocked.
MOBO - MSI X470 Gaming Plus
*VERIFIED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH MOBO ON MSI'S WEBSITE* RAM - G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory / Model F4-3200C16D-16GVGB. Has not been set to above 2133MHz, or overclocked in BIOS.
GPU - MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB. Has not been overclocked.

SSD - SanDisk SSD Plus 240GB.

HDD - WD Blue 1TB.
CASE - NZXT S340 (Non-Elite) Black/Red
PSU - EVGA Power Supply 220-G3-0750-X1 SuperNOVA 750 G3 80+ Gold 750W

Please help.

Try one stick of RAM at a time, or just different slots.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
