Windows 10: Constant BSOD's Pointing to Memory/Driver Fault - Need Help Diagnosing

Hello. I've had BSOD's for as long as I have had my computer. I have tried in the past to solve the problem, but I never had any luck. Recently, I upgraded to Windows 11 and installed a new NVME drive. Unfortunately, the blue screens are now much more frequent anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes before the next BSOD. Doing more-intense applications, namely video editing, I see the most blue screens.Things I have tried:I swapped memory sticks from Corsair Vengeance 3200 mhz RAM to G.Skill RipJaws 3200 mhz RAM, vice versaI also tried different motherboard slotsRan the built-in windows memory

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.

 

Constant BSOD because of problematic driver

Hello Igor,

I followed the steps you suggested but it did not help.

I also did a quick format, but I am still getting blue screens.

Here is the most recent memory dump after the last BSOD:

Constant BSOD and Random Crashing

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're facing with your computer. Random crashes and Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors can be frustrating to troubleshoot, but analyzing minidump files can provide valuable information about the underlying causes.

Unfortunately, as a text-based AI model, I'm unable to directly access or analyze files or attachments. However, I can provide you with some general guidance on how to analyze minidump files yourself or suggest alternative troubleshooting steps.

1. Analyzing minidump files:
   
   • To analyze minidump files, you'll need a debugger tool like WinDbg, which is part of the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK). Install the SDK and WinDbg on your computer.
     
   • Open WinDbg and go to "File" > "Open Crash Dump." Browse and select the minidump file you want to analyze.
     
   • WinDbg will load the minidump and display information about the crash. Look for the error message or the faulting module that caused the crash. This information can help identify the potential cause of the problem.
     
   • If you're unfamiliar with WinDbg or analyzing minidump files, you can search for specific error messages or faulting modules online or seek help from forums and communities dedicated to Windows troubleshooting.
     
2. Alternative troubleshooting steps:
   
   • Since you suspect faulty RAM, testing it with new RAM modules is a good step. Faulty RAM can cause various stability issues, including crashes and BSOD errors. Consider ordering new RAM and replacing the existing modules to see if it resolves the problem.
     
   • Ensure that all your drivers, including motherboard chipset drivers, graphics card drivers, and other hardware drivers, are up to date. Outdated or incompatible drivers can lead to system instability.
     
   • Monitor your computer's temperature using software like HWMonitor or Core Temp. Overheating components can cause crashes. Make sure your computer's cooling system is working properly and clean any dust buildup on the CPU cooler and other components.
     
   • Check for any recently installed software or drivers that may be causing conflicts. Uninstalling or rolling back recent changes can help isolate the problem.
     
   • If the issues persist, you may want to consider seeking assistance from a professional computer technician or contacting the customer support of your computer's manufacturer.
     

Remember to always back up your important data before making any major changes to your system or replacing hardware components.

I hope these suggestions help you in troubleshooting and resolving the issues you're experiencing with your computer.
