There was a lot of articles on Google about this, here's one of the guides but there's a lot of other stuff available too.

EDIT: When was your last BIOS update and what BIOS are you currently on?
(Latest is 2003 via http://support.asus.com/Download.asp...5D+LE&p=1&s=32 )

Hmm then it's not as easy as I thought, if it's CPU related it's hopefully something that can be resolved but if it simply triggers from elsewhere such as GPU drivers or even the OS itself then it could be quite difficult to troubleshoot.

Hopefully though it's not a hardware error.

(Speaking about that have you tried lowering the CPU overclock and/or any voltage increase? It's probably not that though if it's just a single game and only during certain conditions.)

101 usually means you need more Vcore

Bug Check 0x101: CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

This indicates that an expected clock interrupt on a secondary processor, in a multi-processor system, was not received within the allocated interval.

Almost certainly a HW issue, but if you have an OC, aggressive RAM timings, or overheating, you can cause this to pop up even if the HW itself is perfectly fine.

So check temps and double check any OC settings. If the BSOD doesn't happen again, it might be a one off. [Had one myself a few weeks back; hasn't reoccured even under the harshest stress tests I've thrown at it].

i havent OC nothing. temps are low and also this crash happens only with punkbuster server on.

punkbuster off servers. no crash.
singleplayer no crash.
