So a few weeks back, I built my first ever gaming pc on my own. It was very relatively easy and I enjoyed it very much. But when I turned the pc on, it had a bsod right as it was trying to boot. I don’t remember what the code was but the pc would bsod every here and there with a clock watchdog error or a machine check exception error(every 3-4 days)
specs:
Lian Li o11 dynamic razer edition
9 lian li unifans
Lian li Galahad 360mm aio
Crucial 1tb ssd with windows 10 pro(don’t know anything more about it other than it’s blue and gray)
Corsair RM850x psu
ROG STRIX Z590-E GAMING WIFI motherboard
intel core i7-11700k cpu
4 8gb 3200 mhz Corsair vengeance rgb pro ram sticks (32gb total)
ROG STRIX GTX 1080 OC EDITION
so as I said it would blue screen every here and there but it was usually just the clock watchdog timeout and i stopped getting the error for a while. I was playing vr chat and joined a world with 4K shaders and my gpus fans all went pretty high in rpm so I thought it was overheating and I downloaded gpu tweak to turn off the feature it has where the fans won’t spin till a certain temperature so it would stay cool. BIG MISTAKE! it had a blue screen almost 20 minutes after installing and it was the usual clock watchdog timeout when it rebooted, the pc froze on the welcome screen and gave me the machine check exception bsod. It then crashed 4 more times after that with the clock watchdog error and i decided not to mess with the pc anymore that day because I had began to cry because I didn’t know what to do. The next day I uninstalled gpu tweak and immediately got a bsod that had something to do with removing memory or something like that. Now every time I try to use it, it bsod’s. I removed 3 sticks of ram because I was getting irql not less or equal bsods and I thought that was the problem and while running 1 stick in the 4th dimm slot(only one I had tested so far) it ran fine until I tried to download GeForce experience because I had reset the pc to factory settings after before testing the ram because it was still blue screening. It crashed, had a machine check exception. I’m super stressed about this and I would appreciate any help and feel free to answer any misunderstandings of what I have typed so far. Please help me😢
