Hi,
so my buddy wanted a PC, i chose the parts for him:
R5 3600 with EVO 212
ASRock B450 Steel Legend
16 GB RAM from Gskill 3000
GPU RX 5700XT
Edit PSU is
Corsair CX Series CX550
we built it on sunday, turned it on, it posted got into Windows. OK, he drove back home, he has a child and not much time, next day, he says it crashes.
Yesterday and today we tried to find the error.
Windows crashes and shows:
clock_watchdog_timeout
The temps were in the 50s on idle even in BIOS.
The max Vcore Voltage was at 1.47 or so. Without OC, Stock settings.
Tried re-sitting the CPU, applying new paste, undervolting to 1.1V the temps went down, i even ran a prime95 for 10 minutes or so, the screen flickeded a few times and yeah, after 10 min, windows froze.
I underclocked it even further, to 1.085. I turned on and i told him he should try to game on it now.
Because again, neither of us has too much time.
Now he says it crashed again and showed the:
clock_watchdog_timeout
error again.
What can it be? Do you have any idea?
Tomorrow i'll take the PC home, and try something out. Suggestions?
I'm gonna see if the BIOS is uptodate, but otherwise, i don't know.
I built multiple PCs, but never before had that.
Some people in other forums say It's Windows, others say just don't overklock, put everything on stock, but we already did that. Not even Ram is overclocked, it's running stock as well.
