Are you OCing anything?

Just the CPU.. E7200 from 2.5Ghz to 3.8Ghz. Memory not OCed :)

The BSOD comes randomly, most of the time when I'm playing a game. I could be playing for hours without a problem, then it comes..

could be this-

The CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT bug check has a value of 0x00000101. This indicates that an expected clock interrupt on a secondary processor, in a multi-processor system, was not received within the allocated interval

I agree on the more vcore,whats it at now?

When you play, are you assigning the games to only one core in taskmanager?

Nope.. I don't mess with such settings (are there even?) hehe.

Vcore @ 1.36ishv from default 1.1ish

The games don't even stress the CPU as much as orthos.. really strange.

Room temperature about 30c
Temps are 40-70c on load, but normal gaming usage max is around 60c. (measured with realtemp)

I'll up the voltage 1 notch, but it will take me a few days to a week to find out if it solves the problem..

Are they the Core temps or the CPU temp?

i get the feeling your CPU is overheating so causing the BSOD

From what uncleweb has shown, I doubt the CPU is overheating, they can withstand temps over 100*C! Altho I will admit in the 60's is most stable!

its possibly the actual os fault or maybe a faulty motherboard liek the cpu socket could be broke

"Core temperature" according to realtemp.

I don't think it's overheating, cus I run orthos/occt on a hot afternoon (30c) for a few hours and not get BSOD, and yesterday I was playing GRID with the airconditioning on (about 25c) when the BSOD happened.

I'll update you guys in a week if it happens again with the new voltage of 1.37v :)

Edit: My computer froze after playing devil may cry 4 with 1.37v.. I'm sticking to 1.36v for CPU and increased the NB voltage by a notch.. to 1.47v

Bump, I think the problem is solved.

I disabled EIST (and had to use 9x instead of 9.5 multiplier, resulting in 3.6Ghz), lowered the cpu volts to 1.3v because the lower clocked allowed me to, and I have not gotten random BSODs since. Even tested with my games, and when I slept, OCCT for 9 hours.

Temps dropped to 40c to 64c too. =D

Thanks guys!!
