    just in the last few days i keep getting the same BSOD every couple of hours or so that says :

    A clock interrupt was not received in a secondary processor in the allocated time interval.

    I used to think it was because i was running like 3 bots at once as i was botting Runescape for money, but now it just happened when i didn't have any game of any kind open at all.

    That is a SetFSB type of Bluescreen. Are you overclocking something?

    This is how you solve it:

    1) If your overclocking, remove the overclock.

    2) If your not overclocking, do a full powerdrain. To do a full powerdrain, follow these steps:

    *Remove battery, power supply plug, coin cell battery
    *Hold the power button for 20-30 secs
    *Put back the batteries and start the computer.
