Hello,
I recently got a Gaming Computer for my birthday. Sometimes, the games I play (Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, Worms Revolution) will randomly freeze completely, and I am forced to shut my computer down. If I try to record a game, this happens in the first few minutes of the recording. We think the problem may be overheating, as the computer goes from 25 to 50 degrees when playing these games, but we are not too sure.
Specs:
Processor-AMD A10-5800K APU with Radeon(tm) HD graphics 3.80GHz
Installed RAM-8.00GB (7.42 GB usable)
System type-64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Edit: I forgot to add that twice the computer restarted and told me there was a CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT error

Sorry it's been a while, but when I was planning to reply my computer stopped freezing on games for whatever reason. However, the problem has cropped up again. I should add that a few times when the game has freezed I was taken to a blue screen with the error message CLCOK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT.
