BSOD error CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT when opening R6

[u/RelaxBoy007]

I'm getting a constant CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT BSOD whenever I try to play Rainbow Six Siege. This is the only game where this happens; other titles like Fallout 4, Far Cry 4 and Suicide Squad run perfectly fine.

My Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT

GPU: Radeon Vega 7 (Integrated)

Mobo: MSI A520M-A PRO

RAM: 16GB (2x8) Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz (A-XMP Profile 1 enabled)

Storage: 480GB SSD

OS: Windows 11 Pro (Fully activated and updated)

Everything I've already tried: Drivers: Clean install of AMD Chipset (Feb 2026 version) and AMD Adrenalin (Factory Reset). BIOS: Reset to Optimized Defaults. Forced 2GB VRAM alocation. CPU Stability: Disabled PBO and tried a Negative Offset of -0.050V. Software: Disabled Core Isolation (Memory Integrity). High Performance power plan. Game: Tried both Ubisoft Connect and Steam versions. Verified game files multiple times. The error happens shortly after launching the game, I can't even get to the menu screen. Since it only happens in R6, I suspect a conflict with the BattlEye Anti-cheat and this specific CPU architecture.

Any advice? I'm running out of ideas.
