    Dear helper, I've been getting BSOD's even before reinstalling my Windows 11.Last couple of days I've been getting the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. I've seen it before, actually it's reoccurring.I've tried multiple solutions, none worked ever. People online said for my other bsod errors that it was a graphical error, or that it's my internet driver, and a bunch of things, but none of my driver malfunction, i've tried updating most of them.I'm seeking help desperately. Here are my specs: I have an 8 year old pcIntel Core i3-8100 4 core cpuGTX 1050 tiHDD 1tbdump folder:Minidump

  2. Windows 10 build 10586 BSOD DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    Check (enable) it then do Step #5 & test.

    The above notwithstanding...

    Are you still getting the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSODs or...?

    can't upgrade to 1903 - now Nvidia driver gets DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD

    I've had 1803 for a very long time and it never was able to successfully upgrade to 1903.

    The error was

    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0xC1900101: Feature update to Windows 10, version 1903.

    The most recent Windows update now causes my machine to get DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. I found that if I unplug my monitor from NVidia GT 710, the error and BSOD goes away. I tried removing and reinstalling the MIcrosoft recommended driver and the BSOD came
    back.

    So I removed the driver and have plugged into the builtin DVI port, so I only get 1980x1080, instead of 4K resolution.

    So is there a way to force the upgrade to 1903? If I do will that resolve the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD?

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks very much!
