Been having issues recently with CLOCK WATCHDOG TIMEOUT Bsods, I've tried using SFC Scan to check for system instability, i've bought and installed new ram to try and remedy the situation. I don't know how to read the event viewer logs to find something related to what's causing my issue. Any help in troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated System Specs are below.

    At this point I cannot get into the desktop to actually pull any minidumps out. System is sending itself into automatic repair and it does not recognize my account password to authorize the repair.

    Start your PC, just as Windows attempts to load (spinning dots), press and hold Power Button for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down

    Do this twice

    On the third start Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment and from there you can access System Repair, Safe Mode, Command Prompt.

    Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Settings and click Restart

    Upon restart, press 4 to enter Safe Mode

    Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run these commands, then restart your PC.

    verifier /reset

    verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail

    It seems to only want to go to the automatic repair screen. I'll keep attempting to get it to go to the recovery environment though
