BSOD on HP Pavilion Desktop i7 CPU Possible Overheating

I have an HP Pavilion desktop that hangs then blue screens. I've listed the mini-dump below. This problem is intermittent. I was able to recreate once where the computer is located and a few times at my location. On-site it was warm. I used OCCT to stress the CPU & GPU. Testing both resulted in the offending blue screen.

At my location I wasn't able to crash the device until I inserted it into a box similar to the desk where it was located. My point was to simulate limited airflow. The OS is Windows 7. The system has 9GB of RAM. The hard drive test OK.

The dumps have been steady for a month now a few times a week or day. I've listed three below.

CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT (101)
An expected clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor in an
MP system within the allocated interval. This indicates that the specified
processor is hung and not processing interrupts.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000019, Clock interrupt time out interval in nominal clock ticks.
Arg2: 0000000000000000, 0.
Arg3: fffff88003315180, The PRCB address of the hung processor.
Arg4: 0000000000000006, 0.

>> I wasn't able to crash the device until I inserted it into a box similar to the desk where it was located << that points to an inadequate airflow in the box.
there is only one good solution then : better cooling.
this can be obtained by lowering the environmental temperature, or increase the airflow of that box
in general, best is to create a draft at the top of the box, eg one fan that blows air in in front, and one blowing air out in the back

Ran Memtest today and all passed.

I also sealed almost all fresh air from the box in an effort to make it overheat. It only got more warm but did not blue screen.

You need to confirm about temperature because you say it was "warm" when it crashed.

The memory checked out, so now check out the hard drive. If all the hardware checks out and temperature is OK. we need to consider a software or driver problem.

@nobus, when testing the CPU with OCCT the highest number was 75c. On-site at the clients home in a wooden desk. My site on my testing bench. Living in a cardboard box at the moment.

1namyln

ASKER

@nobus, same with speedfan.

John

75 Seems a bit high for sustained operation (to me). It should work at that temperature but I run more like 50 degrees C in sustained operation.

1namyln

ASKER

I'll repaste the CPU and see what happens.

John

Make sure you use good (not cheapest) thermal compound and make sure the layer is evenly thin. Too much is just as bad as not enough.

1namyln

ASKER

Artic silver. Just a pea size if that. :)

I believe it may be the GPU though. I ran OCCT and Speedfan and notice the GPU was getting around 77c. Now the system is frozen. I'll repaste anyways as good measure then try another video card. In the begining I suspected the video card. We'll see.

John

Either device overheating will cause problems. Real Temp measures both CPU and GPU.

nobus

try measuring the case temp also; if it gets too high, no fan cooling can help

1namyln

ASKER

Video card was the problem. I could consistently get it to crash with stressing the video card. Installed another and issue goes away. Thanks for your efforts.

John

@1namyln - Thanks for the update and I was happy to help.
