Windows 10: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION and ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY

Hi all,I recently received a pre-built PC from AWD.IT their customer support is closed for the weekend, and I have suffered from multiple tech issues which I think are related to the drivers?I've had two Blue screens DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION and ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY. The former of the two caused a complete restart.I've also been unable to play any games for a long period of time before they crash.No Minidump files have been made, though there is a 'Dumpstack' file?In Device Manager, "AMD Radeon TM Graphics" has a Code 43. The information tab says: Device PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_16

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

Hi,

It is possible that the error DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION may occur if the iastor.sys driver is incompatible with Windows 10. To isolate your issue, we'd like to gather more information:

• Have you made any recent changes before this issue occurred?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

Any response will be highly appreciated.

 

Blue screen: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

After a recent updating, my machine has blue screen every 5 - 10 minutes.

The error code is DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

I saw another post here which suggest to use "iastor.sys". But I don't have that in the driver list. Mine is storahci.sys.

Please advise! Thanks,

 

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

Hi Mattie,

The DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION blue screen error can be caused by a variety of hardware, firmware, driver, or software issues. Now, you mentioned that you already changed the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers to standard. Did you update the driver as well? And also,
are you getting the same blue screen error when you play other games? Or is it only occurring when you play a particular game?

For the mean time, if you haven't tried any further troubleshooting steps, we suggest that you perform the suggested steps from this article:
