Windows 10: DPC Watchdog violations while watching Youtube, caused by HAL

This comes in waves, it'll cause problems consistently for weeks, and then be fine for a while. I'm in the middle of another wave. Watching Youtube in Chrome, not every single time but often enough (sometimes once a day, sometimes multiple times in an hour). Attempting to update or rollback my video drivers (AMD Radeon X7) has no immediate effect, using both the Windows Update provided drivers or removing and reinstalling from AMD directly.

BlueScreenView always indicates HAL as the driver. I am using the Insider builds on this machine, but this has been consistent over a number of builds, and has spanned a complete format and reinstall of Windows 10.

I don't often ask for help as I am fairly good with computers and searching in general (it used to be my job, left due to conflicting management styles) but I can't find anything helpful with HAL being a culprit, everyone always points to Realtek wireless drivers for the Youtube DPC issue, but this desktop has and will always be hardwired, and does not have a wireless NIC. I have also explored the options involving hard drives which occasionally comes up in search results however these don't appear to apply either. For the record I have a OSC Vertex2 SSD as my system drive, a 2TB Western Digital Black as a primary data drive, and a Corsair Force LS SSD that I use for faster data access with certain programs, just in case the drives do make a difference.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Stop Error Caused by ntoskrnl.exe

I was watching some normal YouTube videos and then my laptop suddenly went to an OSoD (Orange Screen of Death). The stop error was DPC Watchdog Violation and it was caused by ntoskrnl.exe. This is the third time I have seen this error and they all happened
while watching youtube. This is the first time it has been orange however.

 

DPC Watchdog Violation while watching youtube videos

So I was watching a youtube video on Chrome when I encountered a BSOD that listed the DPC Watchdog violation as the cause. I have no idea how to fix it. I have the dump file attached below. Thank you.

Hi,
I was convinced it was a NVidia thing I've noticed it does add watchdog stuff on install but seeing it on AMD/ radeon no telling
Someone on ocn said 99% of the time it is vcore is too low to the processor
Chrome will and does use a lot of resources *Smile

 

VCore usually sits around 0.9V when idle, and 1.1-1.2 under general use, but under any kind of load it will max out just over 1.3. If that information helps?

 

Hi,
I've had more than my share of these errors bsod
And they are mostly win-10 stops responding not much of anything else not responding but since 10 stops everything stops.
Look forward to a real analysis *Biggrin

 

Also of note, when these happen, Chrome will freeze first, I can still move the mouse around and generally have enough time to get Task Manager open, but by the time I can End Task on Chrome it just sits there, the System Interrupts locks at 100% CPU, and then it will green screen (remember, insider builds). It takes about a minute from Chrome freezing to the time it finally screens out, and as I said I can usually work enough to get TM open and see that, yes lucky me, it's going to be the stupid DPC green screen again. (Sorry, things I think of after initially posting)

 

Hi,
Yep you describe watchdog violation perfectly *Biggrin

 

Hi,
Ran into this the other day
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/config...ttings-windows

I believe it applies the same restrictions to cpu resources too just haven't found anything further on it
Haven't tested on win-7 to see what happens on the same oc not quite there with extra ssd's to clone and test without having to restore a system image which takes too much time to test.

 

Hi,
But the suspect driver is windows kernel if I spelled that right that stops responding and crashes everything eventually just not everything at once *Smile

 

The website has strict rules about piracy.

The logs display software that diverts the activation of Windows products.

Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:

1) slmgr /dlv

2) for /f "delims=|" %a in ('dir /B /S C:\*ospp.vbs') do cscript "%a" /dstatus > "%userprofile%\Desktop\Genuine_Office.txt"

3) post the results for each into the thread using one drive or drop box share links

 

Here's the Windows Licensing. I honestly forgot that Office was even on here, that's been how long its been since I used it. It's uninstalled now. Here's another DM dump just to show that. Can you help me or should I just give up and move on?

 

Rule 4
No piracy or discussion of piracy allowed at all. Such as software, music, videos and other intellectual property violations (e.g. downloading youtube videos locally etc) - it is forum policy that no help shall be given to people who knowingly steal software or services.


One of the main reasons for this is that the act of pirating the software will inevitably change the working of the software and make investigation and repair impossible. Please install a legitimate copy of the software and if you are still experiencing the issue we will be pleased to assist - No further assistance will be provided until we are satisfied that the software is genuine.



Software that diverts activation.

 

What else do you need? I provided the screenshot of the Windows Licensing which was never affected, and provided a new DM Report that should show that the software and the service that you referred to has been uninstalled.

 

@ctclark1
Happy holidays.
There is a green light to provide help.

There was 1 BSOD mini dump file.
When debugged it did not display a definitive misbehaving driver.

For all tests/steps please post images into the thread.
If there are any problems posting images please use one drive or drop box share links.

1) open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
2) sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
4) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

5) chkdsk /x /f /r
This may take many hours so plan to run overnight.

C:\Windows\system32>chkdsk /x /f /r
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

Type: y
reboot

Run the command on all drives/partition using the syntax chkdsk /x /f /r c: or chkdsk /x /f /r d: changing the drive letter to the applicable drive letter.
6) Find the chkdsk reports in the event viewer and post the results into the thread using the information in this link:
Read Chkdsk Log in Event Viewer in Windows 10 Performance Maintenance Tutorials

7) Run HDTune: (all drives)
HD Tune website
to check the health,
scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
run a benchmark.
It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
When above is done please make screenshots of the following
the health,
the error scan,
the benchmark incl. following
transfer rate,
access time,
burst rate,
cpu usage.
Take Screenshot in Windows 10 General Tips Tutorials

8) Run memtest86+ version 5.01 for at least 8 passes. Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
This may take hours so plan to run it overnight.
Please make sure you use the Memtest86+ version 5.01 with the link below.
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
The testing is done not by time but by passes.
The more passes the better.
There are a significant number of false negatives if fewer than 8 passes are made.
A false negative is a test pass when there is malfunctioning RAM.
There is 6 GB of RAM on the computer.
Memtest86+ version 5.01 testing takes approximately 1 - 2 hours /GB RAM
Just 1 error is a fail and you can abort testing.
Then test 1 RAM module at a time in the same DIMM each for 8 or more passes.
When Memtest86+ has completed 8 or more passes use a camera or smart phone camera to take a picture and post an image into the thread.

9) Update: rt640x64.sys
Updating a driver: Updating a driver. - Microsoft Community

These tests can be performed overnight:
chkdsk /x /f /r
HD Tune full error scan
Memtest86+ version 5.01
