Hi everybody, new to this forum, hope I am posting the right place. I built a new PC lately, and have been having issues. Let me explain.
Recently I purchased a new mobo and CPU, and used most of my old parts. I put it all together, and installed Windows 10. Everything worked perfectly. 30 minutes into using windows lightly, I jammed in two usb drives at once... and she croaked. My PC had froze up. This continues to happen when I use Windows. Now lately, a blue screen would apper with the error code CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT. Help me guys!
Specs:
Ryzen 5 3600 w/ cooler included
MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max
GeForce GTX 1060
550w PSU (now 700)
2x4GB Ballistix Sport LT 2400MHz
1TB HDD
500GB SSD
What I have tried so far (not in order)
-Switching RAM slots
-Switching order of RAM sticks
-Adding a tiny extra thermal paste
-Ran tests on CPU (everything seemed fine)
-Updating windows (Crashes before it is finished downloading)
-Updated BIOS (twice)
-Increased CPU voltage
-Replaced 550 PSU with 700 PSU
-Unplugged HDD and instead installed Windows on SSD
-Installed mobo drivers
-Install GPU driver (will not update until Windows is updated)
-Made sure the standoffs werent interfering with mobo
These are the only causes I can come up with:
3 The first PSU was defective, and permanently damaged components, making the second PSU ineffective.
Any suggestions I am willing to try. Thank you.
It's worth noting that I do not experience issues in places like BIOS or Windows Setup. Only when I actually using the OS does it happen.

Sorry but are you a Microsoft employee? because crash dump files contain personal information about the user and their activities, documents etc and I don't think giving them to unauthorized people or even worse, posting them online is a good idea.

@HotCakeX I am not from microsoft, Just like you, i am normal user. So dont give those files.
Do this method , just boot the windows into safe mode and work for one hour, see if PC crashes again appeared or not
