BSOD A clock interrupt was not received on the secondary processor

I keep getting a BSOD with the message "A clock interrupt was not received on the secondary processor". Its really starting to annoy me now and would really appreciate any and all help. I have been through the forum here to see if there's any suggestions but I would really appreciate some direct advice. Please help.
Thanks

Welcome to SevenForums.

Please remove all overclocks applied.
If you have any more bugchecks after doing so we are here to help .

I'm not aware of any overclocks on my PC. I will check my BIOS but I'm sure it's just on its standard setting. Can I adjust it manually in my BIOS? Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes you can set the BIOS back to it's optimized defaults.

or increase voltages till its stable

BSOD keeps happening.

I keep getting BSOD. It says many different things at any one time. I've not added any hardware recently. My BIOS is the most up to date it can be. I re-installed Windows 7. Please tell my processor isn't done for. I've attached my file below for the geniuses here to peruse. HELP and Thanks.

Hello jaymo1978.
It appears that you havent taken the suggestion given by YoYo155 in http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-hel...received-secondary-processor.html#post2478530
As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings. Also set the BIOS to default, too.

And, requesting the mods to merge it with your earlier thread. Continue there. Please dont create multiple threads for a single issue.

I actually reset all my BIOS defaults. I will try again. It stopped happening for a while unsure if there's something that automatically over clocks my processor. I think it might be something to do with my graphics card. It seems to run very hot.

After resetting the BIOS to defaults, answer two more questions please.

Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not.
eXtreme Power Supply Calculator
Also let us know about the wattage of the PSU.

Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy.

Apologies for the separate thread before. I'm new to all this. I have reset my BIOS as directed and reset my motherboard to all defaults and i have updated the BIOS to the most current version. I have attached a Speccy screenshot. I did the power calculator and im only using about 300w power and my PSU is a Corsair TX650w so is more than capable. Anymore suggestions would be greatly helpful. No BSOD as yet..........

No need to wait it out, if you're overclocked still you are very likely to bugcheck again.
Please go into the BIOS and confirm that the Ratio values are set the the default of 38.

Here is thought for a possible cause of "a clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor" BSODs. I kept getting the same BSOD for months. According to NirSoft BlueScreenView the culprit was one of a number of drivers causing problems in ntoskrnl.exe. Most of the drivers, but not all, were associated with Apple and iTunes. At first I thought iTunes was the cause because the BSODs started right after I got an iPhone and installed iTunes. I spent a lot of time and effort using RevoUninstaller Pro, CCleaner, and "Everything" riding my system of Apple's crap. The BSODs stopped for a while but still came back, although not as frequently. iTunes was part of the problem but not the cause. It turns out I had an over hearting problem which was not discovered until I started working through the hardware stress test suggestions I found on this forum. iTunes was basically the straw breaking the camel's back in that all of the Apple crap loaded in the background was pushing my laptop to it's thermal limit. It was only after I started running Prime95 while monitoring temps with RealTemp that I discovered an over heating problem that was confirmed when my laptop suddenly shut down while streaming a football game, and it smelled hot. When I opened up the laptop and removed the fan and heat sink assembly I discovered that the thermal grease had completely dried out and simply fell away. This is a 3.8 year old Lenovo W700 with a NIVIDA discreet GPU that runs 24-7 on AC almost every day of the year. After cleaning both the CPU and GPU heat sink assemblies and reinstalling them with Artic Silver my temps are back in line with new normal specs and I have not had a BSOD in 6 days, even when running Prime95 and VMware Player at the same time. Also 100% load temps are staying under 70C. I hope this info helps someone.
