So i keep getting CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT when playing games, i've googled my way to figuring out what the problems is just not a solution.

My cpu is the I7 4790K running on the Asus maximus vii formula motherboard, With windows 10 64bit.

Since i upgraded to windows 10 this problem have been going on so i have been thinking about downgrading to windows 7 instead. Yet i really like windows 10 so would prefer staying here.

Hope some of you brilliant minds can help me figure out a fix without loosing windows 10.

Hello...A "COM (communication)" AND "Services" is where the error is referring too... this area is the Master Administrator/OS area, To enable, Auto, man and disable, what a "User" Can and Can't do with their PC OR through the Network, it can be confusing... that's why the IT's get the BIG $$$?
"The service is not enabled OR cannot be enabled when some APP is trying to use it" B )

This Could be a Security setting or Anti-virus setting too? Team Speak IS a "Com" APP... Any Game over the Network IS a "COM" APP... Security, ADMIN and "services" needs "Permission" or needs to be enabled to use them.
Hello... Hello... Right click computer-Manage-Event Viewer-Windows logs-System and look at the items related to the time of these events, look for a common reason/problem/driver-file with these.
A "Watchdog Error" is a communication error with a hardware device, after so many calls from? and no response back after so many tries, a Watch Dog error will be sent.

Task Scheduler service found a misconfiguration in the NT TASK\Microsoft\Office\OfficeTelemetryAgentFallBack definition. Additional Data: Error Value: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\msoia.exe.

The vcs service failed to start due to the following error:
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.

those 2 errors repeat on 2 of the occations, it rarely happends unless i play CS-GO then it happends really often i cant play it for an hour without a crash.

I took a look at the wiki link, and i dont use anything like that, i uninstalled office and will try to give play some cs to see if i can "force" a crash to see if it helped. i couldnt seem to locate the thing in task manager that listed the auto dates/times and maintenance.

Okay so i played some cs today and the crashes still happend from what i can see its these 2 errors that happend in the event viewer.

The vcs service failed to start due to the following error:
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.

The Network Connectivity Assistant service depends on the IP Helper service which failed to start because of the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

I'm thinking about just formatting it onto a fresh windows 10 installation, but ofc would prefer not to do so.

When these crashes happend usually the programs running are cs-go and teamspeak, i am wondering if i could have something to do with ts? tho i also use that during my wow raid nights, and the problems dont really occur there, its rare that these crashes happend outside of me playing cs.
 
Hello... You can go to services in your OS... and manually change the way they start, auto/man or never start.
Right click computer-Manage-Services and Applications-Services. please create a restore point before you start "disabling" stuff here, a lot of basic everday needs are controlled by these "Services" and the y work like a team together... it is best here to "enable-or Auto" a 'Com service"?
