Windows 10: Constant BSOD with DPC Watchdog Violation

Hi,


I have been having constant BSOD when playing intensive video games or just randomly. I replaced my RAM about a month ago and for about 6-8 months before that I would have random BSOD's like irql_not_less_or_equal or FAULTY HARDWARE CORRUPTED PAGE which was more common. After replacing the RAM, and also doing a fresh install of windows 10 pro as well, I stopped getting these errors for a little bit until I started getting BSOD's again but this time I have only had DPC Watchdog Violation.


I used WhoCrashed to figure out what was causing the crash and it said the following:

[COLOR=111111]This pointed the issue to my external soundcard SoundBlaster G6 and I ended up uninstalling all software and drivers for that and have stopped using it. For about 2-3 weeks I had no issues until recently I had another crash with DPC Watchdog Violation again and this is what it said:[/COLOR]

The crash took place in a Microsoft module. The description of the module may give a hint about a non responding device in the system.[/COLOR]



The latest ones point to nvidia drivers and I have uninstalled and used DDU to fully uninstall all software and drivers, and then I redownloaded the latest driver for my GPU and reinstalled. I am typing this up right now after this latest crash.


I have also saved my minidump folder and MEMORY.DMP file if that is something that is required to figure out why I am having these issues.


Any help would be much appreciated!

Constant Bsod with DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION? Bugcheck 0x133. Please help.

hi,

I have been having constant BSODs with DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATIONS. The problem was caused by the kernel. And it happens randomly. I have an acer aspire E 15 E5575G57D4.

I have tried contacting microsoft but they have been not very helpful.

Here's what I've tried so far:

• Uninstalling and reinstalling sata ahci driver
• System restore to a point before the crashes
• Chkdsk /r (no errors)
• Memory test (no errors)

It is so frustrating.

 

BSOD DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION

According to what I found from your minidump file, ndis.sys is caused this
DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION BSOD error on your Windows computer.It's a
NDIS 6.20 Wrapper Driver and installed onto your computer through Windows Update. As far as I know, you have installed new Windows updates lately.

You can uninstall those updates out of your computer, restart your PC and check again the result. Remember to do these steps in Safe Mode.
