I'm at my wits end!
What is happening -
When I game in certain games (warzone) and programs I cant even start up themup - the system just goes right to BSOD: Watchdog_Clock_Timeout
This also happens when I use premiere, photoshop and aftereffects,
This happens when I try to stress test on the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility - BSOD Watchdog_Clock_Timeout
THos also happsn using the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool - when it gets to the Prime Number portion of the test the system fails and BSOD Watchdog_Clock_Timeout
Though, when I stress test on 3d Benchmark it goes just fine.
This started happening with the game No Man Sky - Oddly enough this does not happen when I'm using VR (iracing)
Sys Specs:
i9 12900k - Not Over Clocked
64GB 4800 DDR5 (2 32gb sticks) - no XMP
RTX 3090 - NOT OVERCLOCKED
Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB
Samsung SSD 980 1TB
I'm including my SSU Scan
What I've Tried:
I've ran a memtest and the memory is just fine - I have also tried to run the system with one stick and I've switch hem out 1 at a time and it still BSOD Watchdog_Clock_Timeout
I tried removing the GPU - and it still BSOD Watchdog_Clock_Timeout
Full windows install with not updates and it BSOD Watchdog_Clock_Timeout
I install the latest windows update and Latest Drivers - BSOD Watchdog_Clock_Timeout
I have Latest BIOS -BSOD Watchdog_Clock_Timeout
I reseated the CPU - the Ram - all the SSDs - BSOD Watchdog_Clock_Timeout
What else can I try before give up on this CPU?
