BSOD Code:101

Nimix said:

Alright well i did the stress test and nothing went wrong for either of them and I passed both of them.

I still however am getting the same bluescreen error.

I tried taking out some ram and switching them up and still the same.

I have also tried removing the network card and the optical drive

I have yet to remove the graphics card or the hard drive.

Reply when you get the chance and I wish you a happy new year!

What you're looking for will be in one of the following categories:

a) BIOS bug
b) a driver whose activity is causing the target processor to lock up
c) a hardware defect (temperature, voltage, dust, RFI, outright borkedness...) ?I wonder about CPU defect als



Have you tried the BIOS update?

Have you run driver verifier to find which driver is causing this?

I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .

Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.

Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

Alright, I have done what you told me to do and when I restarted my PC and got to the start menu I had a bluescreen.

Alright, I have done what you told me to do and now I am just waiting for a Blue Screen.

Good Luck. Let us know if you need help.

Alright I now continue to bluescreen on start up so this means it is a driver issue

Boot into safe mode (F8) with networking and upload the DMP files to us

Here you go

20 of 26 are the clock_watchdog BCC 101 as described earlier. It points to cpu, or BIOS.

Read the instructions for 101 carefully.

I have updated the bios to current version, ran both of those stress tests doing exactly what they asked running prime95 for 6 hours(passing all tests) and ran the gpu test until the line was still and straight, and took out some parts to see if it would change anything. The only parts I didnt take out was the graphics card and hard drive.

Any updates?
