Getting CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT Error Suddenly

[pink0panda]

Just as the title says I haven't had this issue ever before but two days ago while streaming and playing GTA V my PC bluescreened with this error. This was after about 10 hours of play so I assumed it was due to so much stress for such a long period of time. Yesterday I did the same with no hitches but today after only 30 minutes my PC crashed again. I have heard that checking all drivers for updates is the fix but when I did so everything was up to date. Is there anything else to do?

Is the bios up to date?

That error is usually a hardware-related error, and usually the cpu is faulty. Sometimes a driver can cause the problem, and that's something you can fix without buying a new cpu or motherboard. The other software-related thing you might consider is whether you started having this after getting the Windows Update for Meltdown/Spectre, and whether you may have an antivirus that doesn't play nice.

Have not checked Bios and to answer the other question the first crash occurred on 1/08/18 after 10 hours of GTA V streaming. When my PC restarted it did a windows update. The next day no issues, today one crash and none since.

Update I am going to update my graphic card driver. A new driver came out the same day i ended up crashing so maybe that could be it?
