A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within

I recently just built a PC with my friends (around March or April) an
have had no real problems with the computer until I moved into my ne
place (after the computer was in storage for the summer). I am not ver
good with computers and while I have tried searching forums for peopl
with similar problems, I do not fully understand all the computer ling
in order grasp what is really wrong. Basically, since I got my compute
back and started playing games (the main reason I built it), the game
have been freezing along and while sometimes its continually replayin
the sound, other times it goes to a blue screen saying "A cloc
interrupt was not received..." I took a picture of it rather than m
trying to explain something I don't understand. Anyways, its ver
frustrating and happens almost all the time now when I play games an
even happened when I restarted my computer after it crashed. So her
are the main components of my computer and if anyone could help, I woul
greatly appreciate it.

What you want to be looking for is causes of a STOP error 0x101. It
appears to be a processor (possibly GPU) error, not a Windows error. I
see that one possible cause is an incompatibility between the Southbridge
chip on your board and the AMD processor. Unfortunately the fix is
replacement with another model.

Well that stinks. Could it also be the CPU just overheating? I ran th
PC Probe program to look at the temperatures and the CPU consistentl
goes to 68-71 degrees Celsius. If so, do you think underclocking th
processor a little will help

It's less likely. The error seems to point to a subtle hardware
incompatibility. You should check with the component manufacturers - the
processor, the motherboard, and the video adapters. And whatever software
triggers the error.

In the case of overheating, often the system will simply shut down, and be
hard to restart until it cools. However, as the overheating cycles repeat,
it gets harder and harder to keep the system running - the damage is
permanent and not repairable. You can only replace, and it can be difficult
to tell *what* you need to replace, so you wind up replacing most of the
system.

I don't know the acceptable temperature range for your system, but if you
are overheating it, yes, you want to take prompt steps to stop it. Do
include being sure that there isn't dust buildup in the heatsinks; if you
are a smoker, the tars will make this problem much worse.

it sounds more like a driver or hardware mismatch.
I would make sure the RAM is matched sticks and they are snapped in
securely.
Check the board maker's website for BIOS updates and/or updated
motherboard/chipset drivers.
A new, better heatsink/fan combo might bring down the temp a little.
Many of the OEM heatsink/fan combos are not the best at cooling, just
cheaper...usually adaquete, but better cooling can mean better performance.

Hi there

I have had the similar problems with my computer, and not yet hav
figured out whats causing it. But I think that the motherboard is th
issue here

My problems have started about 3 months ago, but I've been lazy an
haven't yet sent my mobo to the seller. Few things that I've noticed

Computer run very nicely for 6 months, after that the problems starte
and the BSOD started to become more frequent as time went by. Today m
computer doesn't boot in normal mode it restarts itself all the time,
need to boot it in safemode

BIOS is the latest version, didn't help to upgrade it
All RAM is fine, has been tested in other computer. And for some reaso
my mobo doesn't support anymore than 3gb of ram, as it should suppor
8gb... I even changed some of the ram chips but didn't help

All drivers are uptodate.
I bought new graphicgard, cause i thought it was the reason(had fe
other problems with the old one). It didn't help

Windows been installed twice, with different kind of settings (vist
ultimate x64) didn't help.
New fans installed to box, for extra cooling. No change

SO what is left is mobo or CPU. All the testing i have done gives dat
that CPU is fine. But in other forum one guy had same problem that wen
off when he raplaced the cpu... so i dont know. But I thinks that thi
is surely a hardware problem

And what seems to be interesting all forum that i have read there i
always a asus motherboard involved... just like now we have samekind o
motherboard (SLI) and same CPU..

My set is

6400+ X2 AMD processo
ASUS M2N-E SLI motherboar
3 bg kinstong DDR2 667mh
Gigabyte Ati radeon 385

Hey. I'm pretty sure I actually fixed the problem. I finally found a
most up-to-date driver for my graphics card and after installing it, I
haven't had really any problem. Mass Effect still messes up a bit, but
the other games I have (like Call of Duty 4) work fine. Not sure if I
can be any help anyways, seeing as I'm not very good with computers.
Hope you figure out the problem and fix it.

Hi all

I too have started having this issue ever since I recently *upgrade
Vista from 32 to 64 bit*. I am running:

AMD PHENOM 64 9500[/B] 2.2GHZ
*ASUS *M3A32-MVP DELUXE WIFI-AP AM2+
*4 X 512MB KINGSTON HYPERX 1066MHZ DDR
[B]EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT* 512MB PCI-E (Processor: 600MHz; Memory
1800MHz effective)
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer
Hiper Type M 880W power supply
Pioneer BDC-202 BD-ROM
2 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 320GB ST3320620AS in RAID
on Marvell RAID controller

I have noticed many people with this problem have ASUS boards, 64 bi
multi core processors and Vista 64, but not everyone.

All my drivers are up to date and Vista is up to date. The blue scree
is happening more and more often. It seems to happen more frequentl
when running games, watching blu ray, but also just using software lik
internet explorer or waking the PC from sleep can do it. Howeve
yesterday I played Call of Duty 5 for hours without a single crash whic
was very unusual.

Any advice

I don't know if this will help, but I was getting the same BSOD with a
dump. I only recently installed a EVGA 9800 GX2 video card and started
having this problem. Simply re-installed the latest driver and have not
had this again over several days.
