    Getting BSOD's while playing several games


    Help, I'm getting the BSOD of, "A Clock Interrupt has been received on a secondary processor ... " many times while playing several games in which I have sufficient system requirements to play including Team Fortress 2, Minecraft and Europa Universalis 4. I Upgraded my graphics thinking that would help but it didn't. I have an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 @3.40 GHz processor, a 16.0 GB ram and a NVIDIA GeForce ATX 650 for a graphics card.

    I'm thinking that it could be something with the PSU but I'm unsure.

    Welcome to SF Rico5924 :) .

    The bugchecks are all 0x101, unfortunately this bug check code doesn't contain enough
    information in the minidump file be analyzed fully.

    Please upload the Kernel dump file using Dropbox or Skydrive, the file is located in the Windows directory
    and is usually a few hundred Megabytes in size.
    Code:
    C:\Windows\MEMORY.dmp


    A few things to eliminate;
    Test for thermals and stability:

    • Download HWinfo and post a Screenshot of the sensors window, one at idle and another while putting load on the PC using Prime95 for the CPU side and Furmark for the GPU.
      • Before running Prime95 make sure to enable Round-off checking (see 1st post under the tutorial).

         Note
      It is not mandatory to run both tests simultaneously, although possible as long as the temperatures are under constant monitoring.

    What is the make, model and age of your PSU?
    Fill out this form and post back the result:

    I have done the thermal tests with the sensors, and the results are attached. I have no clue to what any of it means really.

    Also, I calculated my Power supply requirements to be 404 W requirement with a 454W recommendation. I have a 460 W PSU that is nearly 3 years old (so I think that is the problem), although I think I may have done one of the parts in the calculator wrong, because I'm not quite sure what the 16GB ram with 2 separate sticks of said ram choice is.

    Also, I have uploaded that one file as well to drop box. Hopefully it is in the post right

    Hi Rico, thanks for the file :).

    The screenshots I was looking for are of the sensors window and not of the summary window
    which is what you hae uploaded :\ .

    As for the dump file, CPU cores 4&5 were hung so they didn't flush out their call stacks which means we
    can't know what was being proccessed at the time of the crash, the surrounding cores have network
    and security related drivers but is not to say that those are the cause just yet.

    Despite being outdated I don't want to point any fingers just yet.
    Code:
    lmvm bcmwl664
    Browse full module list
    start             end                 module name
    fffff880`04e47000 fffff880`05136000   bcmwl664   (deferred)             
        Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\bcmwl664.sys
        Image name: bcmwl664.sys
        Browse all global symbols  functions  data

    Thank you for the feedback.

    I have done more of those tests, and this time the sensors are photoed, like you asked.

    Also, something strange happened. I was playing Europa Universalis 4 earlier today, trying to get a BSOD to happen, to get more data, and after 2 hours or so of no luck, I read your post and started up the tests immediately afterwards. Not even a minute later, a BSOD happened and when I went to see where it saves the crash dump files, it wasn't there! The newest one was from the 30th of Dec. (as I have not been doing too many heavy things to my computer). It was the same blue screen type as any of the other times, " A clock interrupt has not ... "

    Is that normal or not, or do I have to restart my computer twice to retrieve the file for some reason.

    Thanks for the update :).

    The main Voltages values displayed are a bit on the low side,
    I will ask some of our hardware experts to take a look.

    Your power supply should be very close to these with a light load. More system specs are needed.

    +3.3V--- 3.296 V
    +5V ---- 4.896 V
    +12V --- 11.598 V

    You can verify you voltage reading using this little free program. You can also use it to complete your specs.

    System specs are updated, maybe they'll help.

    Rico5924, Inyour system specs I didn't see the Brand, model and wattage of your PSU. I have always had trouble with HWinfo reading my voltage correct. Go into bios and give us the values for the +12V, +5V and +3.3V. ATX specifications are +/- 5%. If your +12V was at 10V, I doubt your computer would boot. I suspect the software is not reading it right.

    My PSU is a 460 W PSU for the XPS 8300 with model number: 7P3WV. I do not know where in BIOS to look for that info.
