Hi all, newcomer here.

At any rate, I recently re-constructed my gaming rig. I'm gonna post full specs here just so you know what I'm dealing with, then I'll drop into my problem; AMD 6000+, MSI GeForce 8800GTS, 2GB Kingston Hyper-X 800 Ram, Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtremegamer sound card, 2 SATA HD's, all controlled through my ASUS M2N-E SLI motherboard. I think thats it.

At any rate, you can see that my components are decently high end and all by quality manufacturers. Still, every since upgrading from my old Socket 939 FX-60 Vista has been crashing on me, and often.

Basically what happens is my computer will freeze in whatever its doing, and my HD indicator LED on my case goes nuts, and I get a BSOD. The message indicates that "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval." I figured, though I wasn't sure, that some of the following code would be useful, so I wrote it down as well; STOP: 0x00000101 (0x00000061, 0x00000000, 0x832D7120, 0x00000001).

Further research allowed me to figure out very basically what this code means, but I have no idea how to isolate the problem or from where it stems. The problem seems to be random, though it does occur more over intensive load, such as gaming.

I'm at a real loss here. I just spent a lot of money on this system and so far I've not been able to figure out why its doing this. I do not know if this is related, but since installing the new CPU, motherboard, and Ram (the only three new components to my system) I've also been receiving odd, random disconnects from WoW while playing. My net is fine, as other programs can run no problem, but I get removed from the server.

If anybody has any info that can help me I'd appreciate it. If you need anything else from me feel free to ask, I'm hoping that if I get my issue fixed, it'll help other people out in the end!

does it do a memory dump?

well to me it sounds like either a motherboard or a processor issue and im leaning twards the processor... do you have any way to test the cpu in a diffrent computer?

I am also leaning towards the processor, 0x101 refers to a clock on the processor (possibly the program counter?). If that is malfunctioning then the FE Cycle will not perform properly and neither will any application. Which I imagine has led to a memory dump, but thats just an idea...

Thanks for the input. As per an idea from a computer guy I know, I re-installed Vista completely, and so far I'm noticing incredible gains in performance, and have experienced the clock interrupt problem only when I have tried to overclock my cpu...so far anyway. That error code was different, which leads me to believe, hopefully, that I'm on the right track.

I'll let everybody know what I find out as I continue working on this issue!

cool, gud luck

Be sure to keep us informed - if you're OCing, make sure you ramp up the cooling as well as the clockspeed. I hope you'll be visiting us and posting, and not just in your own threads, even once we have helped you with this issue
