I have a very annoying random lockup issue that’s driving me nuts. Sometimes I get the modern BSOD listing a MACHINE_CHECK_ EXCEPTION or CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT, but 90% of the time the machine just freezes completely and needs to have a switch power off.
Hardware was recently bought/built from a mobo cpu and ram from MM. I added the 2nd set of ram, same brand, model and timings.
Setup
Windows 8 Professional x64
Intel i5 750 – Not clocked
Asus P7P55d E Pro motherboard
16GB GSkill Ripjaws DDR 1200 Ram (4 x 4GB sticks) volts at 1.5v and 9-9-924 timing
1 x Adata S511 240GB SATA III SSD Drive
1 x XFX HD6770 GFX Card – Not clocked
1 x LG DVD RW Drive
1 x XFX ProSeries 550W PSU
3 x 120mm fans
1 x Artic Cooling CPU Heatsink/Fan
1 x Artic Cooling GFX Heatsink/Fan
Maybe a Windows 7 install just to check if its stable in there driver wise
Any thoughts gents
Cheers

- I have done ram memtest which passed with no errors.
- Prime test with no issues.
- FurMark GFX card test – no issues
- All temps in the green.
- Tested each ram stick one by one. None would boot in Slot closest to the CPU, named A1 but all booted fine in other slots.
