Problem upgrading Windows 10 Insider Preview

I have participated in the Win 10 Insider Preview program, but became tired of the new builds breaking something. I still get the official build releases, though they are few and don't happen often.

I have the same board as you, but the rest of my hardware is different. I have a Samsung 950 Pro as the OS drive, three other SSDs, and lowly EVGA 960.

I've never had the problem you are describing. I never had your problem when Win 10 was in its pre-release phase, with many Insider updates, but that was with different boards, etc.

The CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT error is related to the CPU. From Microsoft:

The CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT bug check has a value of 0x00000101. This indicates that an expected clock interrupt on a secondary processor, in a multi-processor system, was not received within the allocated interval.

The specified processor is not processing interrupts. Typically, this occurs when the processor is non-responsive or is deadlocked.

Multi-processor refers to a core/thread in the CPU. Don't take the description literally as a CPU problem, many things could contribute to this error. This error is seen with everything from the CPU overheating, to driver problems.

The need to disconnect ALL the hardware that you do is strange. IMO it is probably one device that is the cause, or two that interact. Or have you meticulously checked removing one device at a time, and it seems to make no difference? That would be difficult to do. If you remove one thing at a time, and then suddenly the update works, what is the last thing removed?

The network connections causing the failure makes no sense.

I would suspect the TPM module, because of all the changes taking place in the Insider Update, which is really a bug in the Insider Update procedure. Next would be the Hauppauge device.

OR, removing all that hardware removes some stress on the system that occurs during the update.

Can you monitor the CPU temperature during the update?
