Question New build disaster

[junglejame911]

Long time lurker - be grateful of any advice.

After doing a fair bit of research I've tried my hand at my first new build.

Seemed to go ok but getting BSoD (Clock watchdog timeout) and not sure why. Crash reports & .dmp files all a bit beyond me but suggests a ntoskrnl.exe issue


Runs in Windows 10 ok but seems to crash under fairly minimal load. CPU core temps seem high when idling (Core Temp & CPUID). Have reapplied thermal paste a few times. Fans all seem to be running OK.

AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
ASUS ROG Strix X570-F Gaming
DDR4 (2 x8GB) 3200mhz
NZXT H500 case
PSU Corsair RM850, RM Series 850 W
GPU GTX 960 (planning to upgrade to RTX 3070 when available
Noctua NH-D15 fans (smaller fan didn't fit over RAM)

Any suggestions??

Worried I've fried something along the way

(hope the attachments work!)

Not indicative of anything 'fried' at this stage, so try not to worry too much.

The BSOD is likely to be either driver, or memory related.

Did you clean install Windows on this hardware? Or did you migrate the OS drive from another system?

If you disable XMP/DOCP, running your memory at 2133MHz, does the issue persist?

Thanks - I initially migrated an OS drive from another system to do a few checks (seemed to work OK)

Then did a clean reinstall of Windows 10 and the error started showing up. I'm not quite sure what that tells us? Driver issue?

I will look at XMP/DOCP

So I've tried DOCP on & off in the bios and it makes no difference. Windows still freezing within a few minutes

With DOCP off the DDR4 seems to be running at 2400mhz.
