[BSOD] Clock interrupt
Hi,
I am on from a clean install of Windows 7 from previous W7 & HDD crash (see previous thread).
Yesterday I experienced my very first BSOD since the install. And today it happened again.
Here's my computer:
Windows 7 Ultimate (Guenuine and not an update)
AMD FX-8350
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
nVidia GeForce GTX 660
Using NOD32 & ZoneAlarm along with Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware.
I read the minidumps with WhoCrashed and here's the report:
On Sun 2013-04-28 21:59:56 GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\memory.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: rt64win7.sys (Rt64win7+0xA4467)
Bugcheck code: 0x101 (0x19, 0x0, 0xFFFFF88002F64180, 0x2)
Error: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\rt64win7.sys
product: Realtek 8136/8168/8169 PCI/PCIe Adapters
company: Realtek
description: Realtek 8136/8168/8169 NDIS 6.20 64-bit Driver
Bug check description: This indicates that an expected clock interrupt on a secondary processor, in a multi-processor system, was not received within the allocated interval.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This problem might be caused by a thermal issue.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: rt64win7.sys (Realtek 8136/8168/8169 NDIS 6.20 64-bit Driver , Realtek ).
Google query: Realtek CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
As I write this, I am Googleing "Realtek CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT" to see if I can find any info.
Everything is up to date BUT Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is NOT installed since it fails everytime (using Windows Update to install it). It hangs on "Preparing to configure Windows" and stays there. Tried to hard reboot it, no change. Have to go in safe mode and wait for it to revert then reboot again.
I dont know if it has to do with something about my BSODs.
Thanks for input,
Maesen
