Encountering the CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error can be quite frustrating. This particular error typically indicates a problem with your processor or in some cases, a timing issue between the processor cores in a multi-core system. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to address this issue:

1. Update Drivers:
   • Ensure that all your drivers are up to date, especially chipset drivers and graphics drivers.
   []Check Hardware:
   • Make sure all your hardware components are properly connected and functioning.
   • Test your RAM modules by running a memory diagnostic tool like Windows Memory Diagnostic.
   []Overclocking:
   • If you have overclocked your CPU, try reverting to the default clock settings to see if the error persists.
   []BIOS Update:
   • Check if there is a BIOS update available for your motherboard and update it if necessary.
   []Check for System File Corruption:
   • Run the System File Checker tool to scan for and repair corrupted system files.
2. Analyzing Minidump Files:
   • If you have minidump files generated during the BSOD, you can analyze them to pinpoint the exact cause. These files are usually located in C:\Windows\Minidump. If you can provide any minidump files or additional information about your system configuration, it would be helpful in diagnosing the issue further.
