hi all,
i'm trying to install a new machine, have been for over a week now, due to this error. at random times the machine will freeze up. 9 times out of 10 i also get a BSOD -- CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT error. in addition, when i was installing drivers from the included cd, the install program would continually say the drivers weren't installed, even after installing them a couple of times over.
here's what i've tried so far:
- update bios to latest [v.3402]
- download fresh mobo drivers from asus internet site and update all
- swap out video card [was AMD SAPPHIRE HD-7750, now ASUS ENGT520SL]
- run onboard disk test of NVME drive [no errors]
- run windows memory test, complete suite, 10 full passes [let it run all day long -- no errors]
- run
NONE of this has helped at all.
i'm getting pretty frustrated here. i've never had this many problems w/any mobo, and i've put together systems based on intel, asrock, gigabyte, msi... first time w/asus, though. have to say i'm not impressed, despite their good rep...
i'd like to emphasize that i'm using the standard factory settings and haven't tweaked anything ; no overclocking, no performance 'improvements'.
w/all of these problems, is it safe to conclude i've got a bad board, or is there something else i should try ? it would really suck if i have to return this board and start over.
my config --
- CPU : Ryzen 9 3900X
- RAM : Hynix CJR Extreme Performance DDR4 3600 CL18
- GPU : ASUS ENGT520SL
- SATA: Saumsung 850 EVO
- NVMe: Sabrent Rocket 4.0 1Tb
- Peri: TI IEEE-1394 PCIe 1x
O/S: Windows 10 Enterprise x64
many thanks for any help.
