A long time ago I made a thread about Windows 8 completely hard freezing on a completely stable system on boot up without giving me any information. I eventually narrowed it down to Catalyst Control Center starting up being the culprit(The freezes would happen with it left alone and the freezes stopped happening when I set it to not start up with the pc).
Just for fun on the newest AMD drivers I wanted to see if they fixed the issue so I enabled the CCC. For a day or so it worked fine but this morning it crashed again. This time however it managed to give me a blue screen with an error message; something it never did before. The error code I get is CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT. Google brings me to this page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff557211(v=vs.85).aspx
System specs: Asus G73JH laptop, Core i7 720QM, 10GB RAM, Mobility Radeon HD 5870 1GB, 240GB OCZ Vertex 3, Intel HM55 chipset. The system passes all of the various torture tests and stability tests indefinitely(prime 95, linpack/linx, memtest, furmark, you name it). The machine had no issues on Windows 7.
What to do with this error message?
