  1. BSOD "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION" - Help Needed


    For the past few months, my computer has been randomly freezing/BSODing and displaying the error "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION". It typically happens when I'm playing a video game or watching a YouTube video, so I'm hoping it's not my graphics card giving out on me... But it also happens at complete random, possibly while my computer is asleep or idle because I will sometimes come back home to find that it had randomly restarted itself without my input.


    I've also had a notification in my Windows Defender Security Center for a while now that apparently "One or more device drivers may not be working", but the automated troubleshooter never seems to be able to do anything about it, other than listing the following as devices to troubleshoot:

    - "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) has error",

    - "Unknown USB Device (Link in Compliance Mode) has error", and

    - "Generic Bluetooth Radio has a driver problem".

    But I'd highly doubt that these would be the faulty device perpetrators causing my BSODs, since I don't think any of these devices are ever being actively used, but who knows...

    Anyway, I've seen other threads where people were asked to provide a DMP file, so I've attached mine (the only dmp file in the Minidumps folder) here:

    Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide! Please let me know if more information is needed to troubleshoot the problem!

    :)
