BSOD 0x101 CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

[Sheldon Addy]

Hello Seven Forums,

I have recently upgraded my seven year old computer running XP to Windows 7. I realize that by year five, I should have just bought a new computer but my ignorance about upgrades has lead me here. Though my upgrade experience has thus far been better then expected, I have been dogged by a daily occurrence of a BSOD 0x101.

Besides help with my upgrade, I added an additional fan to my chassis bringing the total to four fans (90mm side, 120mm, rear, 120mm front and AMD stock CPU fan). I have also beefed my power supply from Logisys PS480D (480W) to a Thermaltake TR2 (600W). This has helped cut down on the frequency of this crash as well as eliminating a 0x101 that I was getting just after the upgrade.

For this error, I have been running the Kernel Mini Dumps through WinDbg but it only states that it is probably caused by Unknown_Image (ANALYSIS_INCONCLUSIVE). I think my drivers have all been updated but maybe I am missing something.

I have done multiple malware/virus scans utilizing ESET Online Scanner, Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials. The results were clean.

I have run the suggested hardware tests. For my hard drive I have run chkdsk on more then one occasion and no errors were found. I have also run the Hitachi DFT32 hard drive test and no errors were found for that.

For RAM, I have run memtest86 on both sticks of my 4 gigs of ram collectively and separately on each stick for (8) passes on each test. No errors were found.

As far as my troubleshooting goes at this point, I am not sure what step to take next. I appreciate any assistance toward my way.

See if there is a more updated video car driver for the GeForce 7300GS.

This is the latest driver.

DriverMax is software that supposedly helps you install 3rd party drivers. It didn't help me and it is loaded with spyware so I successfully uninstalled it.

Windows is full updated however the driver in question - amdk8.sys which is for the AMD Athlon x2 6000+ processor, has no further updates.

I've attached another SF Diagnostic Report. I've noticed that 0x101 seems highly likely to occur when I stream video on YouTube.

I have added the suggested driver but still getting 0x101 crashes. As you read in my 0x50 thread, the next course of action will be getting a new video card. Maybe this will help with this BSOD.

Thanks for your continued interest and support of my problem!
