Hi, a friend is experiencing the watchdog bugchecker bluescreen.
Specs: H410M-D mobo
10600 i5 CPU paired with 16GB (2x8GB)
CV610 PSU
GT 710
870 Evo 512 GB
Literally brand new components.
The first thing I did was install the chipset drivers from ASUS, then update the ME engine driver, as well as its firmware. Cleaned up GPU drivers as well and re-installed. Nothing worked, so I updated the BIOS as well, but the problem persisted.
I then went ahead and checked the event viewer logs and found that the kernel unexpectedly looses power (is that normal when the watchdog timer times out?). Other times, the errors that pop up do have info on the blue screens and they include memory dumps too. So basically its a mix of those two types of errors in there (0x133 and 0x3) I know those particular Corsair units aren't exactly great, so I did a stress test for a couple of minutes and everything was good including temperatures and voltages on all three rails. All is good.
What should I try next? I was thinking of updating SSD firmware.
What are the chances of this being a hardware fault? (I'm thinking it is because of the mixed blue screens and unexpected power losses)
Thanks!
