Hello, I've been getting problems with a BSoD and I think it's because of a unstable CPU. So I was wondering if there was anything I could to stabilize the CPU as much as possible.
The BSoD error is CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT error
My CPU is i5-4570

Thanks for your help!

Hello... Look at your BIO's screen " PC Health" and report back your current CPU Voltage.

A Watch DOG error was created in the beginning of Micro Processors and the Programing them... Basically it sends out a communication siginal to a hardware item... there is time set for the hardware to send a communication back in response.

All my experience with BSOD is due to a Hardware communication, interrupting between the MB and Windows.
1) Make sure you have no un-happy hardware drivers in your "Device Manager"... No Yellow or Red icon indicators
2) Clean all card/stick edges with rubbing alcohol... And Re-insert cards.
3) Inspect and clean all DATA and Power connections... to your Hardware and MB.
4) Verify all devices CPU/GPU/MB...

4) Verify all devices CPU/GPU/MB temperatures are with in Normal operating temperatures.
5) Verify your Power Supply 12Vdc has enough current , To operate your Video Card and CPU, at the Performance setting you are using.
6) Test One Part at a time in a known Good Computer.

BSOD are tuff problems too solve... and sometimes takes all those steps I listed to get rid of them... Sometimes it can be simple fix by a BIO Setting/Driver/Software Removal/Preference Settings.

TO PROVE it is the Hardware ( FOR ME ) means installing a Fresh WIN 7 SP1 RAW ISO ( NO UPDATES ) install on a spare Hardrive with just Device Drivers will verify this... If you Blue screen with this, your hardware has a problem communicating with the MB. http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-...
