[SOLVED] Computer BSOD after CPU 100% usage

[DinDan06Official]

Hi, I have a relatively good spec PC. However, when gaming or doing anything CPU intensive after around 20 minutes my PC has a Blue Screen of Death typically showing the error: Clock Watchdog timeout or Machine Check Exception. One thing I have noticed is that when this occurs my CPU's usage is pretty high. Thanks for taking the time to read this

Yes, that's correct

Yes, that's correct

That's not exactly good. Have you tried tracing the temps using HWInfo while under heavy work load?

I haven't tried that no, I've done stress tests without actually monitoring the temperature. But I'll give that a try!
