BSOD Starting Vmware workstation, Error: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
Hi All,
I've been getting blue screen whenever I start any VM on my VMware workstation. This had happened in the past, but not so frequent, perhaps once a month. But since two days ago, this had happened whenever I click on starting my virtual machine. It blue screens within 2seconds.
I recently updated some drivers on my laptop. It is a Lenovo T430. I suspect it is my drivers causing the problem, but I can't pinpoint anything.
Here's the stuff I tried doing but to no avail:
1. Reinstalled VMware workstation.
2. Reset Bios settings.
3. Disabled Anti Virus
4. Run Vmware workstation as administrator.
5. Rollback both my Graphics drivers.
