Hi, I have recently been getting a BSOD while playing TF2. The error message says, 'A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor in the allocated time interval'.

This problem started out about 3 weeks ago, then it happened again last week, and now it happens within a minute or two of me joining a game server.

I have posted a thread on SevenForums, there I have uploaded a file containing some information about the crash. Here is the link: http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/329249-bsod-playing-team-fortress-2-clock-interrupt-not-recieved.html#post2754657

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I just want to say that I have solved the problem by taking the side panel off and vacuuming the CPU fan. There was a lot of dust in there, and it seems to have solved the problem.
