STOP 0x101: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT Troubleshooting Info on the STOP 0x101 error: BSOD Index Here's a good thread on http://www.sysnative.com/forums/showthread.php/1248-0x101-quot-A-clock-interrupt-was-not-received-on-a-secondary-processor-quote Quote: What you're looking for will be in one of the following categories: a) BIOS bug b) a driver whose activity is causing the target processor to lock up c) a hardware defect (temperature, voltage, dust, RFI, outright borkedness...) ?I wonder about CPU defect also) So, check the drivers ( http://www.carrona.org/verifier.html ) Then check the inside of the case (temperature, voltage, dust, etc).

http://www.mediafire.com/?id494h4sg1jpvym Computer has been stable for ~10 months. Recent weeks, no new hardware/software installation, it's been temperamental and blue screening. This usually happens when playing games (doesn't seem to matter which). I've done a driver tidy up, updated everything I can find that was updateable, but it is still happening. I'm planning a reformat at some point soon, but it would be nice to have a stable system before that. Cheers John

I would download and run memtest86 and see if it a memory problem. I think you can download it from the following link. http://hcidesign.com/memtest/download.html

Ah, sorry, should've specified - I've tried memtest and chkdsk functions, nothing I've run has encountered a problem. I'm really looking for interpretation on the .dmp file, as my debugging kit is somewhat broken at the moment and I can't get the info out of it that I'd like.

Well it says the problem was caused by driver ntoskrnl.exe and at the following address. ntoskrnl.exe+7f1c0

Hi, My suggestion is to remove all unnecessary hardware devices from the computer and try entering Windows safe mode to test whether it is a third-party software/hardware compatibility issue. If so, please download and run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to check the reason for the issue. If the issue is caused by some incompatible driver, you might go to Device Manager, right click your hardware device in the list and select Update Driver Software; then click Search automatically for updated driver software. Also, Microsoft have provided the solution for BSOD error. More information please refers the below link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Resolving-stop-blue-screen-errors-in-Windows-7
