So I was loading up Sifu, and my fans started to get louder as usual and my CPU Usage started to hit 100% then my pc froze and bluescreened. I have the error message, WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR and Clock_Watchdog_Timeout. Please help if possible, would like to know if I need new RAM or not, or if it's another issue.

MY SPECS:
GPU: 980
PSU:650W
Motherboard: Hero Maximus VII
CPU: i7 4790k
RAM: 32GB

I've made a thread on this before, still to no avail. I'm having a problem which is when I'm playing game and I'm doing something something intensive my pc cpu usage goes up to around 100% and bsods with the error code, Clock_Watchdog_Timeout.

Attached is a Kernal dump and normal dump file, my specs are:

GPU: GTX 980
PSU: 650W PSU BY CORSAIR
CPU: i7 4790K
MOTHERBOARD: MAXIMUS HERO VII
RAM: 32G 1600MHZ BY HYPERX

I've done a clean install nearly 2 weeks ago, so if my problem can be identified it would be great. A clean install would have to be my last resort.

Hi, I ran the dump files through the debugger and got the following information: https://jsfiddle.net/v19yuopk/show This link is for anyone wanting to help. You do not have to view it. It is safe to "run the fiddle" as the page asks.

Comment: The overclocking driver "RTCore64.sys" was found on your system. (MSI Afterburner)

There is a BIOS update available for your system. I usually recommend avoiding BETA versions though. Wait for additional information before deciding to update or not. Important: Verify that I have linked to the correct motherboard. Updating your BIOS can be risky. Never try it when you might lose power (lightning storms, recent power outages, etc).

This information can be used by others to help you. Someone else will post with more information. Please wait for additional answers. Good luck.
