    @gurlmay89 I have read several posts about your system drive - WD10JPVX. This drive is known to have spin up and spin down issues that can cause performance issues. This is not the only hard drive that has spin up issues. The 1.5Tb WD green drive (WD15ears) also has a spin up issue to the point it corrupts the operating system.  I would recommend replacing the drive. Having multiple antivirus programs can also cause the Watchdog error.
