STOP 0x101: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT troubleshtg
Info on the STOP 0x101 error: BSOD Index
Best advice that I've seen about this error (from here: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tml#post356791 )
Here's another good article: http://www.sysnative.com/forums/show...x101-Bugchecks
So, check the drivers ( http://www.carrona.org/verifier.html )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 also)
- H2SO4
Then check the inside of the case (temperature, voltage, dust, etc).
Then run some hardware stress testsThen try replacing parts.Try this free video stress test: http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/
Try this free stress test: Free Software - GIMPSFurMark Setup:
- If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
- In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"
Click "Go" to start the test
- Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
- Click "Quit" to exit
Prime95 Setup:
- extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
- double click on the executable file
- select "Just stress testing"
- select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Small FFTs" test instead.
- "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors (whichever comes first).
The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.More Video Stress Tests:
1. Thanks to VirGnarus for finding this video memory test: https://simtk.org/home/memtest

2. Two other video stress tests (may be more stressful than FurMark):

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - the program doesn't have a whole bunch of safety features to protect you from yourself!CPU Stress Tests:
Only need to run 1 or 2 of the tests under most circumstances. I haven't used any of the tests myself, so I listed all that I was able to find.

Then look up the versions of your BIOS to see what changes were done.
Recently it was found (here: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...ml#post1869800 ) that a wipe and reinstall of Windows fixed a STOP 0x101 problem. I'd have to recommend at least running SFC.EXE /SCANNOW on any PC that has this problem (simply because it's too easy easy to do and it may fix things). Thanks to writhziden for pointing this out!
