CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT ntoskrnl.exe BSOD

[thrx]

I keep getting this errors too. But mostly getting the Clock_watchdog error
I just updated my drivers with driver genius. and installed the current windows update.

I uploaded the current dump files

I looked at your minidump. It indicated you had a hung processor, check your heat and overclocking. Also, you were running a Adobe program and at the same time blocking access to adobe activation/license servers. This would could be a indication of pirate software.

Looks like you are getting corruption in different drivers on each boot. This could be a indication of a memory chip that has a intermittent connection problem. if you not running a overclocked CPU and not overclocking your memory.

Test your memory or start rotating out sticks of ram until you find the bad stick.
Note: you can swap your memory sticks to different blocks so your device drivers will not crash on the bad memory. (better to crash your apps, than the OS until you find which stick is bad) also, system memory testers will can only find bad memory that they can get access to. (they will fail to find bad blocks that are already in use or in the non paged pool used by drivers)

-if you already checked for common hardware issues you have to start looking for the bugs in drivers. I kind of assumed you were not writing your own driver and have updated all the drivers you have access to.

-very common for the several cores to be waiting for another core to finish a task. While the tasks never get finished because it is waiting for something else to complete. it would be a driver bug.

- is your CPU a sandy bridge that is overclocked to 4549 MHZ?

+0x5f0 CpuType : 6 ''
+0x5f1 CpuID : 1 ''
+0x5f2 CpuStep : 0x2d07
+0x5f2 CpuStepping : 0x7 ''
+0x5f3 CpuModel : 0x2d '-'
+0x5f4 MHz : 0x11c5

run intel processor diagnostic tool. (not likely to find anything, but it is a basic check)

Yes I'm running an Intel i7-3820 3.60
I ran to the tool you told me and test fail.
it said Expected CPU Frequency is 3.60
Detected CPU Frequency Is 4.54915

Edit:
Ok So I was trying to reset the Bios Setting via asus and it didn't let me so I just clicked on the
CMOS Switch and reset it. Boot up the computer again ad it was running at 3.60


I Think what happen is that a week ago I Installed Win 8 and installed the ASUS Overclock utility tool to do a
I click overclock . And somehow my WIN 8 got corrupted, so I never changed the settings back again.

Right now the TEST PASSED.

I Will post If I get the BSOD message again.

 

[thrx]

Updated: Ok so once I restart my system back the CPU speed goes back to 4.54
instead of 3.60

 

[johnbl]

Remove the asus software. Asus also puts programs in the scheduler. You have to remove it there also

 

[thrx]

Ok so it seemed that the TCP button on my motherboard was enable. which
made my system overclock automatically. will try and run after effects for while and see if it gives me the same error. as of right so far so good.

that sounds like a realistic cause

Every instance of CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT I have ever seen has been due to either overheating or a bad OC.
