  1. BSOD when playing games or pc just sitting idle


    So its been two weeks since I built my pc, everything was working fine until last week when I got my first PC BSOD. Then it kept happening everyday so I decided to wipe clean my hard drives. I did that but still was getting BSOD, this time multiple times a day. I then updated the BioS for to maybe fix the problem. It has crashed twice since yesterday, which was when I updated it but can not seem to find the problem. I also dont think its overheating because temps seem normal and I have a water cooler. I do have a wifi/bluetooth adapter installed, a TP-Link Archer T5E.

    Here is my PC build:

    MOBO: Asrock B550 Steel Legend

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3700x

    GPU: Red Devil RX570

    RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4, 16 gb

    Storage: Seagate, Barracuda 2TB Hard Drive, Western Digital Black Sn750 NVMe 500 gb, I use this to store everything except games.

    The link below contains the link to the minidump files,

    I have ran the Windows System Debugger and it has shown me these, the second the pic is the most recent one, both of these crashes occurred after I updated the BiOS

  2. BSOD When playing games

    Hi Jackson,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    Please share the information requested below:

    • Does the BSOD occur while playing a particular game?

    • Press Windows key + X, select Device Manager.
    • Expand Display Adapters.

  3. Windows 10 not idling... but idles when playing games?

    This is a weird behavior. First, let me say I love sea of thieves! But recently I've noticed my computer doesn't idle at all. I've used the power tool to see what might be keeping my PC awake blah blah blah... nothing works. But I changed my power profile
    to turn the monitor off in 1 minute to try to debug the issue. I finally gave up and just started turning my PC off... Yesterday the hungering dep came out! So I started playing... no, if you haven't played SoT, there can be a lot of downtime. A stupid amount
    of downtime. Enough so that you can take 5-10 minute breaks in the middle of playing it. Just sit back and relax and take it all... wtf my monitor tor just turned off.

    Now it can idle when I have Sea of Thieves running in windowed mode? Turn the game off... stops being able to change to 'idle' power states. Turn it back on it works. The mouse movement still prevents the PC from sleeping so if I'm actually playing the game
    it does not sleep.

  4. BSOD when playing games or pc just sitting idle

    Blue screen with PDC_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT,The devices will be sitting idle, with the screen on and suddenly crash (BSOD).

    Original titleBSOD when playing games or pc just sitting idle :pDC_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT on idle PC

    Hi,

    we are using dell Venue 11 tablets for a business venture. However we have an intermittent issue, once every (few) days, they blue screen with PDC_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT. The devices will be sitting idle, with the screen on and suddenly crash (BSOD).

    I have attached the windows dump file covering an event. Any light you can shed would be fantastic.

    the dump file is available at woolfitservices.com -&nbspwoolfitservices Resources and Information.

    Thanks in advance!
