Getting this error after installing and assembly.... CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT Blue Screen Error on Windows 10 ...
For more info.... The assembly was done as per https://www.igyaan.in/194240/gaming-pc-under-rs-25000/
My friend who made this assembly thinks there is problem with hardware of Processor? I called CPU seller.He thinks my Single RAM stick can't handle. SO i get the error, Also he told me to update bios.
Can this problem be solved if i buy another ddr4 4gb ram to pair with 8gb RAM..? Or another 8gb RAM. I am worried that it will exceed maximum motherboard frequency capacity. Please excuse me for my errors if any, because i am not an expert.

Updated to latest Bios.. Problem persists........
 
Just as an FYI, your PSU is very poor quality, so I would not expect it to last you very long. Your ram configuration is not ideal, for a Ryzen system, either. It's slow, and only single channel. Single channel ram would not cause this problem, though, unless said ram stick itself, is bad. I found this. It has some things you can try.

Solution
I've run into this a few times and every time it's been solved by doing 2 things. Update the motherboard drivers, audio Lan USB etc, from the motherboard support website (not nvidia or amd) and update the bios, found in the same place.

When updating the bios, it's extremely important that you follow the correct steps as written. There will/may be several upgrades necessary to bring you up to date, and these absolutely must be done in order.
