Game crashes after several minutes of play.

[BunnyBurger]

Hello,

First, I have been trying for over a week to chase down this problem, I have been having it for a wile now, but only intermittently. Now, However, it always crashes, a full restart crash. (Windows 11 Green screen of death)

Stop code: CLOCK WATCHDOG TIMEOUT 

This is also from a fresh reinstall of the game. I have tried most of the recommended fixes, short of a factory reset, and reapplying thermal paste to my GPU. My GPU temp holds steady around 80 Celsius under a torture test, 60-70 C in DCS. So I don't think it's an overheating issue. I dusted it out as well. 

Drivers are all up to date, also removed and reinstalled.

Intel Core i9-11900K 3.5GHz liquid cooled

GeForce RTX 3090

do you have any OC on CPU GPU? maybe try DEBUG mode in NCP. the log just ends abruptly. 

[BunnyBurger]

CPU is using stock settings, GPU I've been underclocking it in afterburner. Tried DEBUG mode, everything gets the same result, sudden green screen of death.

this is the last bit from my last attempt.

afterburner has been noted in some posts with similar problems. perhaps remove afterburner completely and see how it goes. maybe it has an updated version? DCS does not seem to like any of that. i personally only have XMP for RAM on my system. no crashes since i got the computer april 2021.
