BSOD Watchdog_Violation (2nd attempt)

These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver).

Please run these two tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem. Please run verifier first. You do not need to run memtest yet unless verifier does not find the cause, or you want to.

If you are over-clocking anything reset to default before running these tests.
In other words STOP!!! If you do not know what this means you probably are not

1-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)

2-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)

BSOD Watchdog_Violation (2nd attempt)

I had posted before with a similar issue, but marked that thread as answered. Quick update: I had moved my SSD in my case, got BSOD, re-secured SSD and other connections, updated drivers and ran antivirus scan, thought issue was resolved.

I'm back... I thought I had fixed the issue, and it does seem to be occurring less often, but that almost makes it harder to troubleshoot.

New update - Watchdog BSOD (12/2) I think I included both the text file and minidump this time

Updated Google drive with new files. I like onedrive, but I'm not sure about the sharing for CMU's onedrive access.

Thanks again in advance! You guys are such great help!

BSOD – Google Drive

I will work with driver verifier if that's the recommendation, but I'm hoping the minidump can help pinpoint the issue.

 

Hi,

looks like a driver problem with the NVIDIA driver. Please uninstall & reinstall NVIDIA driver using DDU



Display Driver Uninstaller: How to use
Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a small software that can help the user to uninstall the display driver from the users PC. It can uninstall the driver for all the lead display chip developers, viz. Nvidia, AMD and Intel.

After reinstalling the driver u should perform an GPU stress test:





Diagnostic Test

GPU TEST


Run FurMark - GPU Stress Test - Windows 10 Forums





Note Run Furmark for around 30 minutes.

Warning Your GPU temperatures will rise quickly while Furmark is running. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.
Take a Screenshot and post it here.

You should also remove Corsair link 4. Its known for causing bluescreens


EDIT: Main problem is the NVIDIA driver because I found those two disabled devices regarding NVIDIA:

Code: NVIDIA High Definition Audio HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10DE&DEV_0083&SUBSYS_38426286&REV_1001\7&E8CA62B&0&0001 This device is disabled. NVIDIA High Definition Audio HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10DE&DEV_0083&SUBSYS_38426286&REV_1001\7&26A99B64&0&0001 This device is disabled.[/quote]
