    So I get the blue screen of death

    clock_watchdog_timeout

    I tired anything I could find online.

    Drivers uninstalling

    Set software back a few months

    I even moved from window 7 to windows 10

    The issue still happens.

    Mostly when playing Youtube or some other video.

    It can happen 10 times in 1 day or I can go a few days with it never happening.

    I have 8 gig Ram

    1 tb drive

    AMD 4 core Processor

    PC does not restart like its says it will after 100% count on blue screen.


    Anz advice would be greatly received.

    Thanks in advance

    I'd be almost certain that this is a hardware problem of some sort. Is your processor being overclocked? If so, reset it to stock. Could also be a power supply issue.

    You can use Blue Screen View to give you more info on your BSOD.

    I think there should be a tab or column to show you what file is failing. That code seems very generic all right.

    Could you try a few diagnostics tools from the link below. I'd recommend the live cd.

    Just for anyone reading this.

    Clean out your PC with a hover. The chip was over heating with the dust in the vents. PC working fine and fast.

    If you suspect a problem may be related to overheating, it's worth checking if your BIOS/UEFI has an event log. Thermal shutdowns should normally trigger an entry there.

    You should also use a can of compressed air to clear out your PC, hoovers can be a source of electrostatic electricity.
