I've been looking everywhere for a viable solution, and it seems that I need somebody experienced to look at a Kernel Dump file to determine the cause of this error, am I correct?

I just built this PC last week, and I've since gotten both WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR and CLOCK WATCHDOG TIMOUT errors. Everything I'm reading seems to point to the processor being faulty, but I need a way to verify before I start the Warranty process with Intel.

I read on a different thread how to make the DMP file a Kernel Dump. Do I now just have to wait until it happens again for it to have the information I (or you) need?
 
Solution
A BIOS update can fix both of these stop errors. See if there's a BIOS update for this

If it's an ASUS and if you can update it in the BIOS.

Extract the update put it on a flash drive, use Ez flash to update the BIOS

Hi BAustin13,
I'm experiencing just the same issue as you. Mind posting your specs and what you did for testing so far? Take a look at my thread, It may help you as well.

Just an update at Paul NZ suggestion: Take your time analyzing if your PC is stable enough for a BIOS update... I went to do the very same process and my system froze during the download, dunno what would happen if it behaved the same way during the update.
