Had this issue for more than 3 months and yet haven't found a solution. CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT when doing tasks ranging from gaming to using basic messengers.
Supposedly this is a driver issue ( stress tests were completed flawlessly ), drivers "seem" to be updated, though they probably aren't ( coming from the other posts who had the same issue ). This is also not due to overheating.
Other things that have been done or tested:
-Undervolting
-Changed RAM
-Updated Windows 11 to 22H2
What drivers can cause this issue and where can I update them?
Intel drivers are in order, so are NVIDIA drivers ( checked with intel driver assistant and Geforce experience )
Also worth noting that I have the most crashes in CPU heavy games (Rust)

I understand you are getting a BSOD error CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT on your Victus By HP 16.1 Inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-D0000. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.
Clock Watchdog Timeout Overclock – This error usually occurs after you overclock your hardware. If your hardware is overclocked, remove the overclock settings and check if that solves the issue
