BSOD: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (101) while playing games

[lospiojos_742]

Hello. Im getting this BSOD while playing games, randomly. Most of the time it happens late in the game session. I need to know if its a driver issue or a hardware-overclocking issue. Mother is gigabyte z97x ud5h bk, gpu gtx 1070 g1, 16gb gskill ram(no errors, pass memtest86) My i7 4770k is at 4.7ghz at 1.29v, but it seems stable, besides Im not getting the typical overclock bsod which is WHEA. The last BSOD was playing Assassins Creed Origins, but it happens with most of the games.

This BSOD is caused by the CPU, so you may want to check temperatures, reduce the overclock or increase the VCORE. If you still have an issue then remove the overclock entirely and see if the issue reoccurs.
