Frequent gaming related BSOD
Hi, guys.
I am at my wits' end and really hoping you can help. The issue happens mostly when gaming. I think the first random crash happened a few months after getting it (it's almost two years old now,) but I couldn't diagnose and it wouldn't happen often so I never really bothered. Then it started happening more. Very rarely it will happen when I'm just browsing or stuff like that, but generally when gaming.
The game in question is GW2 and no other game has crashed my PC as much as this one. It happened around 7 times in the span of a few hours last night. It happens both in intense maps (lots of people, action, etc going on), but also when I'm in a city staring at a wall. I can run the game on low to medium settings at 30 fps, but going low or none on everything doesn't seem to help. Yet I know I should be able to run it fine.
Memtest came back clear. I'm monitoring the temps as well and they're fine (the most I've seen was my CPU at ~75C and that should be okay for a CPU intensive game; GPU doesn't go over 45.) I ran Windows driver verifier and actually couldn't get it to crash while it was on. Gave up after a few hours and, needless to say, it crashed 15 min later. I can try that again if needed.
There are two errors that are usually reported:
- ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x4ADB3C)
Bugcheck code: 0x124 (0x0, 0xFFFFFA80085098F8, 0x0, 0x0)
Error: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR- ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x75BC0)
Bugcheck code: 0x101 (0x31, 0x0, 0xFFFFF88002F65180, 0x2)
Error: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
It's pointing to faulty hardware, but I need help figuring out what exactly. I'd rather replace a single component than buy a new PC. The problem is, I don't have any spare parts that I could swap in and check that way.
Zip file is attached.
Thanks a lot in advance!
