I have been having problems with my pc since I built it. The main problem is that the computer will restart or freeze. Sometimes it is after a minute or two on the other hand I have gotten it to run for over an hour before. Likewise sometimes there is a blue screen error message other times not. I have gotten a couple of blue screen error messages the two I remember are internal power error and clock watchdog timeout.
I have tried several things in order to resolve this issue. The first thing I tried was updating the BIOS followed by setting the XMP profile and then a hard reset thinking that it was an issue with my memory. Afterwards I tried manually setting the ram speed, voltage, and memory timing going through several different combinations as well as making sure my ram was in the correct slots. It may just be the random nature of the problem but it seems to me that adjusting those settings generally increased the time it took the computer to freeze or restart.
None of that solved the problem so I tried other things. Such as updating the BIOS again, updating drivers (using a 3rd party driver installer), running various troubleshooters, running both mdsched and memtest86. I tried running sfc/scannow as well as chkdsk /f c: in addition I ran ccleaner to fix the registry and nothing worked.
Then I had a look in the event viewer which didn’t make a lot of sense so after that I had a look in the mini dump folder. There I found a reoccurring errors for both internal power error and clock watchdog timeout caused by ntoskrnl.exe. I decided to run the computer in safe mode to see if that did anything. I ran the computer overnight and it went into hibernation as it should. Next I ran it for four hours and it went to sleep but did not freeze or restart. So it seems my problem does not occur in safe mode. With that good omen I ran the computer in clean boot and it has both froze and restarted.
I am not quite sure what to do now or what exactly is causing the problem. So I have linked both the event viewer logs and mini dump logs in the hopes that you guys can give me some advice.
