Built a new PC and on BS start I get the blue screen error and forced computer restart.
Ryzen 5600X
Gigabyte 3070
16GB
Win 10
Everything else runs fine. I searched to stop/removed Hyper V its not even installed and don't have access to Memory Isolation as all the guides recommend.
Anything else I can do? Am I missing something?
I've been getting quite a lot of CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT BSODs with this PC. And someone suggested disabling the Watchdog Timer itself. However, I can't find it. I can only find C-states. Is that it? If so I already disabled that one and the Blue screens kept appearing.
I came upon this Arch Wiki page covering topics on how to improve performance, and one of the topics covered is how to disable watchdogs. The wiki page states that "normal users (i.e. desktop and laptop) do not need this feature and can disable it".
To do so I followed the instructions: I appended nowatchdogto boot parameters in grub.cfg:
% nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet cryptdevice=UUID=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX:root cryptkey=rootfs:/etc/sys.keyfile root=/dev/mapper/root nowatchdog"
% grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
I then blacklisted the hardware watchdog
% nano /etc/modprobe.d/disable-sp5100-watchdog.conf blacklist sp5100_tco
Upon reboot I ran the suggested tests with the following outputs:
Test 1
% cat /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog 0
Test 2
% wdctl Device: /dev/watchdog0 Identity: wdat_wdt [version 0] Timeout: 30 seconds Timeleft: 600 seconds
I'm not entirely sure how to interpret this: Does this mean the watchdog is disabled or not? The first test seems to indicate so, but the second seem to indicate it is still active. Do they test different watchdogs?
Also, when shutting down the computer, I've been getting the following error messages:
[ 162.640363] watchdog: watchdog0: watchdog did not stop! [ 163.168381] watchdog: watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!
Now, I was getting these messages before I attempted to disable watchdogs. However, these error messages persists after disabling, which indicate watchdog is still active.
In such case, what am I doing wrong?

[SOLVED]
I checked journal, searching for "watchdog" (instead of "sp5100-tco" as I did initially). Turns out I did successfully blacklist the AMD chipset hardware watchdog, sp5100-tco and disable the nmi_watchdog by adding nowatchdog to the kernel parameters as described in the instructions. However, there is apparently another hardware watchdog in addition, named wdat_wdt (see journalctl output below), which turned out to be the perpetrator. By blacklisting it, the error messages upon shutdown are now gone, and wdctl can no longer find a an active watchdog:
/etc/modprobe.d/disable-wdat_wdt-watchdog.conf blacklist wdat_wdt
However, the journalctl message: rtkit-daemon[XXX]: Watchdog thread running still persists, which I do not entirely understand.
Outputs:

When booting into openSUSE Tumbleweed, I get " 7.374285 sp5100-tco sp5100-tco: Watchdog hardware is disabled" on a black screen.
Happens every once in a while, usually after updating. Hardware includes an AMD Ryzen CPU.
Any help appreciated.
Edit: I think it's caused by newer kernels. I'm experimenting with blacklisting sp5100_tco in kernel modules. So far, the error is gone but still a black screen. Might have to roll back to an older kernel.
Solution:
I hit Ctrl+Alt+F3 or F4 to get a command prompt on the black screen.
Created /etc/modprobe.d/sp5100_tco.conf and added blacklist sp5100_tco to that file.
Ran sudo zypper dup.
Everything's good after reboot.
Hi everyone,
First of all I'm not an english native speaker so my message is not gonna be perfect
For a few weeks now my computer completely freezes randomly when I'm in game, sometime during game 1 and sometimes after 4 hours of playing. After 1 minute of freezing (not able to do anything during that time) I get a blue screen with the DPC_WATCHDOG-VIOLATION error and computer restarts normally.

I will tell you what i tried so far,
I updated my BIOS, but, to no effect.
I dont know what else to do. Need Help.
I found [this] (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-update/clockwatchdogtimeout-error/33b46641-fc90-45d9-8027-b834f44cfd03?auth=1) from Microsoft.
"1. Ensure your temperatures are within standard and nothing's overheating. You can use a program such as Speccy if you'd like to monitor temps - http://www.piriform.com/speccy
2. Clear your CMOS (or load optimized BIOS defaults) to ensure there's no improper BIOS setting or to clear overclock settings - http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/tp/clearcmos.htm
3. Ensure your BIOS is up to date.
4. As I said above, the only usual software conflict that can usually cause *124 bugchecks are OS to BIOS utilities from manufacturer's like Asus' AI Suite. If you have something like this software-wise, remove it ASAP."
Here are some breadcrumbs for anyone debugging random reboot issues on Proxmox 8.3.1 or later.
tl:dr; If you're experiencing random unpredictable reboots on a Proxmox rig, try DISABLING (not leaving at Auto) your Core Watchdog Timer in the BIOS.
I have built a Proxmox 8.3 rig with the following specs:
-
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 4.2 GHz 16-Core Processor
-
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler
-
Motherboard: ASRock X670E Taichi Carrara EATX AM5 Motherboard
-
Memory: 2 x G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
-
Storage: 4 x Samsung 990 Pro 4 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
-
Storage: 4 x Toshiba MG10 512e 20 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive
-
Video Card: Gigabyte GAMING OC GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB Video Card
-
Case: Corsair 7000D AIRFLOW Full-Tower ATX PC Case — Black
-
Power Supply: be quiet! Dark Power Pro 13 1600 W 80+ Titanium Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
This particular rig, when updated to the latest Proxmox with GPU passthrough as documented at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI_Passthrough , showed a behavior where the system would randomly reboot under load, with no indications as to why it was rebooting. Nothing in the Proxmox system log indicated that a hard reboot was about to occur; it merely occurred, and the system would come back up immediately, and attempt to recover the filesystem.
At first I suspected the PCI Passthrough of the video card, which seems to be the source of a lot of crashes for a lot of users. But the crashes were replicable even without using the video card.
After an embarrassing amount of bisection and testing, it turned out that for this particular motherboard (ASRock X670E Taichi Carrarra), there exists a setting Advanced\AMD CBS\CPU Common Options\Core Watchdog\Core Watchdog Timer Enable in the BIOS, whose default setting (Auto) seems to be to ENABLE the Core Watchdog Timer, hence causing sudden reboots to occur at unpredictable intervals on Debian, and hence Proxmox as well.
The general intention of the Core Watchdog, since many people in the comments seem confused about this, is a Hail-Mary type play where, if the OS does not occasionally hit a bit on the motherboard saying "I'm still alive", then the hardware assumes that the OS has hung, and reboots the entire machine. However. As it turns out, there are multiple situations in normal operation where Debian does NOT update the Core Watchdog at tempo -- probably having to do with power management -- and so you get spurious random reboots with Core Watchdog enabled.
The workaround is to set the Core Watchdog Timer Enable setting to Disable. In my case, that caused the system to become stable under load.
Because of these types of misbehaviors, I now only use zfs as a root file system for Proxmox. zfs played like a champ through all these random reboots, and never corrupted filesystem data once.
In closing, I'd like to send shame to ASRock for sticking this particular footgun into the default settings in the BIOS for its X670E motherboards. Additionally, I'd like to warn all motherboard manufacturers against enabling core watchdog timers by default in their respective BIOSes.
EDIT: Following up on 2025/01/01, the system has been completely stable ever since making this BIOS change. Full build details are at https://be.pcpartpicker.com/b/rRZZxr .

ive been getting a bunch of BSOD's recently with this error code "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION", im pretty sure i know what the error code means and im slowly ruling out what might be causing it but i need someone to look at these 3 minidumps and tell me what might be causing it (and maybe how to solve it)
if it helps, i just recently wiped my entire computer, this BSOD never happened before that, i think it started after getting my essentials (discord, oculus, steam, amd chipset and gpu drivers) and roughly around when i started to download games on my 4tb hdd

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a frustrating issue I've been dealing with on my Beelink SER8 and see if I'm the only one experiencing this.
Starting yesterday, my mini PC began freezing completely. The symptoms were very specific:
-
It would freeze right on the Beelink boot logo
-
If I managed to get into Windows, it would freeze about 20 seconds after login.
Weirdest part: The mouse cursor would still move smoothly, but the entire Windows interface was completely frozen and unclickable. After about 20 seconds of hang, it would crash with a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (0x133) BSOD.
I initially thought my internal NVMe SSD was dying or had a loose connection, but after some troubleshooting (and realizing it was a classic storage I/O hang), I traced it back to the recent AMD Chipset Drivers update - Version 8.05.04.516.
I managed to completely uninstall this specific chipset driver package, and the system immediately became stable again. I'm going to do a clean reinstall of Windows 11 tomorrow just to be completely safe and wipe any corrupted leftover files.
Has anyone else run into this issue with the 8.05.04.516 driver version?
I just built my pc but I'm having trouble with the ryzen cpu. Every time I turn on the pc it stays for like 15 minutes and I get a BSOD with Clock watchdog timeout. I tried updating bios from f2 to f10 but it didn't solve my problem. Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening?

Troubleshooting: installed Windows updates, AMD drivers, Disable HPET, raising vcore, and latest beta bios. I was able to install Windows 7 Ultimate and so far it hasn't crashed in 1 hour. It usually freezes within 10 minutes. Is this going to be a motherboard/driver issue? I don't want to be stuck with Win7 forever.
I just bought this cpu. I did a complete fresh windows 10 install and i keep getting this bsod. My cpu temp is steady at 35C, however i am on build 10240 now which is a very early build could this be the cause ? Also for some weird reason my ram which should run at 2400mhz are detected by cpuz and the task manager as running at 1200mhz, back when i was on ddr3 they would show me 1333mhz . Last but not least, each time i start my pc. I get a black screen for a more than 10 seconds before the bios logo actually shows . Why does this happen. I have an msi b350 arctic. I never overclocked btw. Thanks in advance, please help
Ryzen pretty much REQUIRES at LEAST the aniversary update... i've lost count of how often people have bought parts for a ryzen build... and insisted on using the original OEM/Media creation tool build of windows 10 to install OR anything older than the aniversary update and it's been a nightmare with BSODs and just instability issues.
Everyone NEEDS to stop holding onto their old installation media and reusing it so often.... Every new major build of windows 10 a new media creation tool is available for free... download it.. run it and choose USB or DVD media... pick the appripriate version (i'd suggest 64bit only)... and stay up to day (and avoid these simple issues).

I'm not certain on the exact date of when this started happening, but it's been going on for about 3-4 months now.
Every time I lock my PC (Win + L), I am guaranteed to get a DPC crash. I know this because I've left my PC for weeks without locking it and never got the crash. But when I lock it, I crash within the hour. When the crash happens, my PC doesn't fully reboot. It freezes at 100% and I have to cycle the PSU.
I've tried diagnosing the issue myself by analyzing dump files in WinDBG, but I've read conflicting things about how reliable these dump files can be. Most of them pin the cause on Discord or Steam. I reinstalled both. The most recent dump file (10/29) points to svchost.
I've followed the first 3 steps in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ijgq59hQ2Zk . I reinstalled Windows/used their repair tool without deleting my files. No dice.
Not sure what else to do besides a clean reinstall of Windows. I guess I can just never lock my computer but I'd prefer not to.
Here's a link to dump files: https://www.mediafire.com/file/pcesi3fnjydzufj/Minidump.zip/file
EDIT: I seemed to have resolved the issue after doing these two steps. Don't know which was the root cause.
Completely uninstalled and reinstalled nvidia graphics drivers using DDU.
During this process, I ran into multiple freezes during startup and some dpc watchdog timeouts. After many restarts, my computer seemed stable.
However, Valorant would randomly crash with out of memory errors, especially if I had discord running. Sometimes my system would freeze again with no blue screen. This lead me to...
2. Set swap file size to be managed by system. I had disabled this and set my own value (half of my 32GB of RAM) because The Last of Us would create massive swap file and not free up space after quitting the game. After setting it back to manage by system, no crashing in Valorant. Also, no DPC error after locking PC for couple of hours.
Since DPC errors are typically driver related, I assume the graphics driver was the issue.
AMD release new driver to fix this issue:

If you have this BSOD issue, you can try to disable FreeSync and please let me know if that fixed it.
And please help to use AMD Radeon Bug report to AMD, let them aware this problem.
Thanks!
Temporary Workaround (try all of them):
-
Disable FreeSync (Adaptive-Sync) from AMD driver.
-
Disable Windows Variable Refresh Rate.
-
Disable FreeSync (Adaptive-Sync) from Display OSD.

How to check:
After BSOD, you can get minidump file.
C:\Windows\Minidump
Used Windbg to check the callback and module name:
If you see this module name and BSOD reason, you can try to disable FreeSync.
*You can upload your windows minidump and give it to u/AMD_Vik

Hope it can help AMD Driver team to analyze this issue.

BSOD
As the title suggest I got this BSOD when using the computer, I have had this pc for 2 days and yesterday it only happened once, today after windows update it crashed 3 times in a row any help? Maybe the realtek wifi chip? Or maybe I need to update bios?
Here is a minidump of the 4 cases: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zhkL7_Po14Aax_kHPOmrRcz9loe3qDDa/view?usp=drivesdk
Getting dump files which we need for accurate analysis of BSODs. Dump files are crash logs from BSODs.
If you can get into Windows normally or through Safe Mode could you check C:\Windows\Minidump for any dump files? If you have any dump files, copy the folder to the desktop, zip the folder and upload it. If you don't have any zip software installed, right click on the folder and select Send to → Compressed (Zipped) folder.
Upload to any easy to use file sharing site. Reddit keeps blacklisting file hosts so find something that works, currently catbox.moe seems to be working.
We like to have multiple dump files to work with so if you only have one dump file, none or not a folder at all, upload the ones you have and then follow this guide to change the dump type to Small Memory Dump. The "Overwrite dump file" option will be grayed out since small memory dumps never overwrite.

Have you run Lenovo Vantage and applied the updates; reboot and repeat until no more updates are offered?
I recently built a PC with the following specs:
Mobo: ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-F GAM WF Current bios is rev 2412, updating to 2616.
Ram: G.SKILL 32G 2X D5 6000 C36 FX B - Not running XMP, sleep is disabled with it on
CPU: AMD RYZEN 9 7900X
PSU: ASUS TUF 750W 80+G ATX3 PSU
GPU: 4070TI-S Asus STX4070TISO16G Current drivers are 551.23 will update to 555.85
SSD: SAMSUNG 2TB 980PRO
Running Windows 10, tried 11 for about 3 days. No missing drivers. Has passed Memtest86 and has no problems running prime95 and/or Furmark. This issue has been appearing since the initial build and I have yet to figure out the cause. There are no memory dumps. There is no discernable pattern. While using the pc, it will become mostly unresponsive for 60-90 seconds before it reboots on it's own.
There is nothing that I can tell for where to start to diagnose this issue in event viewer. The issue starts with "The system watchdog timer was triggered." the next event is "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
I am out of ideas. Please assist.
Hey all,
I just finished building my new gaming computer and I borrowed a Windows 10 usb media booter from a friend and installed windows 10. He said it was an older version so I need to install updates but when I was getting everything configured I was getting a BSoD and the error code DPC_Wathcdog_Violation about every 10-15 minutes. I haven't updated any of the windows drivers yet and this is a dated version of the windows 10 booter. Should I be concerned that this is a hardware issue? All my parts are brand new. I've heard of Ryzen cpu's and windows 10 not getting along. Anyone else have experience with this? Any advice would be much appreciated. PO that I just dropped 800 on a new system for this to happen.
