    BSOD minutes after system boot DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION


    Hello!Every time I start my computer and wait a few minutes, my computer crashes with the stop code "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION"I have had this issue before and I reset my computer because of it. That worked for a few days until a forced Windows update made it start again.Link to minidump files: https://www.mediafire.com/file/jpixttuecoql7ih/MINIDUMPS.zip/file

    BSOD with DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    For the last week I'm suffering from a hand and BSOD in Windows 10 Pro. I didn't changed hardware and I cannot remember any update, but it is possible Windows updated my computer while shutting down (it does it regularly, so I didn't payed attention anymore).

    The behavior is: the computer boots normally, everything appears to be running smoothly and after a few minutes (around 5 minutes), it almost hangs (mouse still moving), 5 seconds later it is completely hung (mouse doesn't move), and in 10 extra seconds I get to a BSOD with the only reference of DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.

    The behavior is the same if I boot in safe mode.

    After reading available information, it looks like it could be a hardware problem or a driver problem. I tried to reinstall a few drivers (named in the forums), but it didn't work. I also ran the standard memory test and half of the extended memory test and no errors aroused.

    By using NirSoft's BlueScreenView, I managed to track down the problem to the HAL (which is like saying nothing to me... it could be anything).

    Any idea of what I can try? Any place where I can see which is the hardware piece it is causing trouble? Once I find it, I can try to update the driver or disconnect/replace the faulty part.

    UPDATE:

    I managed to get into safe mode with command line and run sfc /scannow. It ran for some time, up to 25%, without issues, then the system got the BSOD. As long as the system boots into Windows, I have very few minutes to do whatever I have to do. Longer operations will be stopped by the BSOD.

    I also ran the extended memory test. No failures until I went to sleep. When I woke up, the computer was on, but no screen signal. I can try to ask the system to repeat the test multiple times in order to survive the night. I will update if I get better results.

  3. 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...?

    Blue screen: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    After a recent updating, my machine has blue screen every 5 - 10 minutes.

    The error code is DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    I saw another post here which suggest to use "iastor.sys". But I don't have that in the driver list. Mine is storahci.sys.

    Please advise! Thanks,
