    Getting a Bluescreen when starting Steamlabs OBS


    I installed my second “monitor” a few days ago when this issue started. When the program "Streamlabs OBS" launches, my computer freezes in the matter of seconds leading up to a bluescreen and I receive a DPC Watchdog_Violation. I’ve tried uninstalling Streamlabs, reinstalling my graphics drivers, unplugging the second monitor, deleting the appdata for Streamlabs, running AMD's cleanup utility and none of this has worked. I find it odd that regular OBS wouldn't cause this BSOD the way Streamlabs does.

    Specs:

    Motherboard: ASRock B450M-HDV
    Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Eight-Core 3.0GHz
    Memory: 8Gigabytes
    Monitor: Acer S240HL
    Graphics: Radeon RX 580
    OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit

  2. I have been having problem with OBS that won't run, I get the "could not initialize DirectX 10"

    Hi,

    Thank you for coming back to us.

    To assist you better I would like to know, are you facing this issue only with the OBS application?

    I suggest you to uninstall and re-install the application and check if that helps. Follow the below steps.


    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Control Panel.


    • Click on Programs and features, locate for OBS premiere, right click on it and
      uninstall it.
    If the issue still persist, I would best if you contact OBS support team for further assistance.

    Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows in future, let us know and will be happy to help.

    BSOD (DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION) with Skype, OBS and Starcraft 2


    So I've been getting freezes for the last couple of months.
    Mostly it resolves into a bluescreen, the DPC Watchdog violation, but sometimes it takes a while and I get bored/frustrated/angry and I press the reset button.

    Event viewer record Kernel power 41 error

    This happens when I engage in a video call with Skype, am in Starcraft 2 and have OBS studio open (actually broadcasting seems to be irrelevant).
    If I cut out any of these three it doesn't seem to happen, although I'm not entire sure about this, but with the 3 it is a very reliable BSOD (although it has happened between 2 seconds and 1:30 hours of streaming).
    I have used hangouts and zoom for video with discord for audio and I had no problems.
    I have also used other programs that utilize stuff a lot, video editing while uploading and playing games. No problem.

    This started happening after the anniversary update, My OS is Win 10.

    Obligatory spec post:
    i5-3570 (non-K)
    Cooler master 212 (not-evo, I think)
    Z77 Pro3
    MSI Gaming X GTX1060 6GB (This one is also new, but I had some months of worry free recording after switching from MSI to Nvidia drivers)
    OCZ Agility 3 SSD
    Seagate green 2TB HDD
    16 GB RAM (Corsair)

    Things I've done:

    • Changed IDE ATA/ATAPI controller to standard SATA AHCI controller (I actually just changed that back to intel 7 series chipset sata ahci controller)

    • Disabled quick boot

    • Updated GPU drivers

    • Memory test

    • Chkdsk (both)

    • SFC

    • Windows 10 disc error check

    • Updated most other drivers probably

    • Scanned for virusses

    • Scanned for malware

    • Skype app rather than skype . . . program?

    • OBS studio 32 bit

    • Changed PSU

    • Updated EUFI
    • Updated SSD firmware

    • Uninstalled/re-installed all the programs

    • Temperatures (I don't overheat)

    Getting a Bluescreen when starting Steamlabs OBS

    AMD FX OC'ers Club

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
