Hello. I was running my i5 6600k at 4.4ghz perfectly fine, temps were low, after i updated my bios on my gigabyte z170 gaming 5, my cpu clocks went back to stock. I went into the bios and set the ratio back to 44, voltage on auto like i have always had it. After i save the settings and pc proceeds to load windows i get blue screen with the error "clock_watchdog_timeout". If i put the cpu clock back to stock i get no errors, and if i lower to 4.3 from 4.4 i get no errors. Does anyone know why im not able to oc again to 4.4ghz without getting blue error screen?
Cpu wont overclock as high as before.

Since you used auto-OC, I'd guess that the way auto-OC worked changed between BIOS revisions.
Most motherboards tend to crank the core voltage up a lot more than necessary to achieve a given OC and because of that, auto-OC is not recommended. Your "issue" could simply be that Gigabyte decided to be more conservative with auto-OC voltage bumps.
