I just reinstalled Windows 10 on my Razer Blade 2015 (HM87, i&-4720HQ) and installed XTU.
XTU works as expected until I reboot - after rebooting, I get this message when trying to apply any settings.
As far as I understand the watchdog timer driver should be installed with XTU - but (even though chipset software ist installed as well) the only intel item in add/remove programs is XTU.
How to fix this?
Thanks and best regards

Hi psieg,
Watchdog is a BIOS feature, XTU will show it if the option is active in the BIOS.

Hi Mike,
thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the BIOS is very limited and does not provide any CPU / overclocking options at all. I will contact razer about the problem. Is there anything else I could check? Is there a tool that can show whether watchdog is present and enabled?
Best

Hi psieg,
Motherboard manufacturers customize the BIOS settings; some motherboards don't have the option. The option is usually available in the Boot tab.

Hi,
the BIOS never had a such option, but to make sure I reset to factory defaults without effect. Do you have another option to confirm the feature is in fact disabled on my system?
Kind Regards

Hi psieg,
I suggest you to contact Razer Blade and request information about BIOS settings. Bear in mind you have a laptop; usually they do not give the option to overclock.

I already contacted Razer, it seems they have the watchdog disabled by default (and no option to change it).
I assume I got this warning before reformatting, clicked the 'don't show again' option and forgot about it.
The Blade is a gaming laptop that - not in BIOS but via XTU - allows some clock and voltage modifications.
Thanks for your help
