    BSOD since upgrade to windows 8, still happening after going back to 7


    Like this title says I've been dealing with this ever since I "upgraded" to windows 8. I tried reverting back to 7 to solve the problem but its still present, and this has been going on for a while now.

    With the BSOD came with higher operating temps. But I can recreate the crash just by streaming video (Youtube, Netflix, etc) as well as playing most video games. I've tried for months off and on but I'm getting to the end of my ropes of dealing with it, this is getting to my last ditch effort before I just outright build a new rig. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

    attached is the file that SF Diagnostic Tool created.

    Edit: I forgot to add that I'm using Windows 7 64bit, not sure if that helps.

    STOP 0x00000101: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
    Usual causes:
    Device driver, BIOS bug, hardware defect

       Information
    CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (101)
    An expected clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor in an
    MP system within the allocated interval. This indicates that the specified
    processor is hung and not processing interrupts.

    - Try to install the driver for this device
    Code:
    Not Available	ACPI\PNP0510\2	The drivers for this device are not installed.
    - Most likely this is the issue

    - My biggest guess is your processor's at fault. Try to stress test using Prime95

    Well I just tried it out, every time the test hits the 4th core it immediately shuts down... dun dun dun...
    Anyway that you can tell what device that is? I google'd it and I get different drivers for different manufacturers.

    Only question though is why did it never do this up until me trying to install windows 8

    Well, things do happen. I don't know why that happened right after you upgraded. I think it's totally a coincidence

    If you think it's positively a hardware issue, might as well build a new one if you can't get a RMA

    Yeah thats what I was afraid of haha. I've already priced a new mobo and cpu for $400 so I'll try that while keeping the rest of whats inside. The HDD was my first guess so I replaced that when it first started happening so now I've got 2 in perfectly fine condition. I'll see how that goes!

    Just an update, stress tested everything and it was core #4 that was the issue.
    Disabled that and everything is working the way that is should!

    Eventually I'll replace is but eh, this does the trick. Thanks!
