Hello,
Unfortunately even after completing all the steps you mentioned, I am still getting a BSOD. The code is: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT.
@Froztd If ya run SFC /SCANNOW , do ya get errors everytime ?
Press Windows key + 'R' ,typ CMD
Press and hold down CTRL + SHIFT and press ENTER.
When User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
Use the following command line:
chkdsk /f
Reboot system, now checkdsk will run before windows boots, dont touch/cancel it.
Let it run and tell us if ya see any errors/fixes
Did ya OC anything in bios (XMP is profile 1?)
Ya use DDR5 memory , what Hz is it capable to run on?
In what slots did ya set those ram stick(s) <-- post photo please.
Can ya tell details about your ram <-- partnumbers ?
Thanks
PS could you this to please
Press Windows key + 'R' ,typ CMD
Press and hold down CTRL + SHIFT and press ENTER.

Hello,
I ran SFC /SCANNOW but found no error everytime.
I ran the chkdsk /f but no error were replorted during the scan at boot.I did try overclocking my PC in the past but these settings are long gone and Bios was reset multiple times to its default settings.
I did set the memory profile to XMP 1 as you suggested in your last email.
The RAM that I'm using is: G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6600 (PC5 52800).
I have attached a picture of the memory slots.
I have also attached a file containing memory and bios information as you requested.
Thank you,
Matt
@Froztd Ok i did check QVL for memory support at youre MB.
The partnumber F5-6600J3440G16G is not in this QVL.
This does not mean its not compatible, but to be sure ya should contact GIGABYTE for this.
It is possible cause those partnumbers F5-6600J3440G16G arent in QVL can give issues (no stable memory run).
Did ya try to use other XMP profiles, all profiles at 6000mts or lower.
Also try without any XMP profile set.
If ya still got issues/errors, please test youre memory sticks, one by oneWhen installing a single memory module, we recommend that you install it in the DDR5_A2 or DDR5_B2 socket
Get 1 stick out and run system, test game only with 1 memory stick.
If ya get errors (or not) replace the stick with other one and test again to see if (this) there is a broken memory stick(s).
Ya could use a memory test tool <-- but they do not always show errors , even when stick(s) are broken/damage)
so first test with differen XMP profile (6000 mts or lower) also test with no XMP profile set.
Incase still errors test youre stick if they are faulty/broken (unstable)
Thanksdid ya buy those 2 sticks in one box, or both in their own box ?
ps link from gigabyte motherboard supported memory
https://www.gigabyte.com/nl/Motherboard/Z690-AORUS-MASTER-rev-1x/support#support-memsupThank you again.
I will do the testing and contact Gigabyte.
For your information, I used to play Battlefield with this setup without any issue so I don't think the issue is the RAM not supported by motherboard. This said, it could be because of the XMP profile. I will get back to you when I have more information to provide.
Cheers,
Matt
