From what I understand, it is already installed and there should be a setting in Bios to enable it.
Here is a discription of WDT

I wonder, since this can reset your computer, is the reason it is not showing up is because it can mess up your computer.
Here is the only download I can find and I know nothing about this site or what version you need.

I can't find any option related to that in the BIOS. I really need that, can't find in the Acer drivers section though..

The watchdog timers seem to be in Intel AMT.

Did you ever have it?
I'm almost convinced your processor, or setup doesn't support it.

Yes, I had it before and I know for sure it because I need it to use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility in order to undervolt the CPU.
I unninstalled it, now I can't undervolt the CPU which kinda sucks, because the V Nitro gets pretty hot, and there are probably other functions that won't run properly. I thought that you could download Watchdog Driver but aparently that isn't the case.
Also I've tried to install the AMT drivers, but no success.

My advice would be to try the Acer refresh. It will, I believe, reinstall the O/S without deleteing all your files, which should reinstall the Intel software.
If this doesn't work, save all your data and do a factory recovery.
