    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Repeating "Clock_Watchdog_Timeout" BSOD - can you assist?

    And that in itself is a problem. If you're seeing repeated BSODs and you're not writing dumps then you have a problem. To properly write dump ALL of the following must be true... The page file must be on the same drive as your operating system Set page file to "system managed" Set system...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST BSOD ntoskrnl.exe IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    Disabling C-States is a workaround not a solution. If that has eliminated, or even significantly reduced, the BSODs then that's a very strong indication that your CPU struggles with low power states. In that case, and in my opinion, you want it replaced under warranty. You'll have to RAM the...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Repeating "Clock_Watchdog_Timeout" BSOD - can you assist?

    If you're getting 0x101 BSODs then the ONLY way to resolve them (without guessing) is to upload the FILE C:\Windows\Memory.dmp each time you get a new BSOD.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Repeating "Clock_Watchdog_Timeout" BSOD - can you assist?

    No, that's not what I asked for. I don't want a manually taken live system dumps (which is what you've uploaded), I want the file C:\Windows\Memory.dmp like I asked for. Sadly that's probably been overwritten now by the useless live system dump you just generated! Upload the file...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Repeating "Clock_Watchdog_Timeout" BSOD - can you assist?

    Thanks for the uploads but when uploading to Google Drive (or similar) you need to make the files public ('anyone with the link can access'). However, the 0x101 CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT BSOD cannot be fully debugged with the minidumps we typically ask for, we'll need the full kernel dump. It's...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Pc not stable with xmp on. Help!

    To keep thing simple; open an elevated command prompt and enter the following command... powercfg -h off That will definitely turn hibernation off, and with it Fast Startup. I agree with @SpyderTracks 100% that turning off the power switch at the back is necessary - it's very hard to run a PC...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Pc not stable with xmp on. Help!

    Given the problems you're having I don't think that Memtest86 is good enough. No RAM tester can ever detect all RAM issues. I suggest you remove one RAM stick (ensure its in the correct slot for one stick) and see whether you can make it fail. Then swap RAM sticks and try on just the other one...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Pc not stable with xmp on. Help!

    Try booting with each RAM stick, one at a time - and check with the manual for the right slot to use for a single RAM stick. Keep everything at stock frequencies and voltages. Please download and run HWMonitor (free), expand the CPU temps section so we can see every core. Then post a screenshot...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Paris Olympics

    You might know that the Olympic Flame, which was lit in Olympia earlier this week, does a tour of Greece before it heads off to the host country. Today it came to Agios Nikolaos on Crete, where I live, on its tour of Greece before heading off to France.... That last torch bearer is my...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Pc not stable with xmp on. Help!

    How can you possibly know this? I'm sure that Gigabyte didn't write that warning just for fun. It's usually a mistake to opt for more RAM than you need (it just increases the workload for the Windows memory manager), it's equally a mistake to opt for faster RAM than you actually need, or you...
