Windows 10: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION and Driver IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Hello, I am currently on Windows 10 64-bit. My computer specs are AMD Ryzen 3 processor NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics. The link to to computer that was bought can be found here: https://goo.gl/7HARLS


I am currently having an issue where I get crashes on my computer, when I am playing games and streaming, my computer disconnects from the internet, then starts to get really laggy then eventually crashes with the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error.


I also get another crash when I am trying to download something from Steam, in the middle of the download, the computer freezes and crashes with the Driver IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error, with the netwtw04.sys file being the file that failed.


I have tried everything to fix this from watching videos to updating drivers the best that I can to troubleshooting, but nothing fixes these errors from happening. Is there anything that I can do to fix this problem that I am currently having? Thanks.

:)

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.

 

Irql_not_less_or_equal

So I have this clients PC that blue screens and gives a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP 0x0000000A error message. Error Goblin (link in sig) says the following:

And I have NO IDEA what the hell that means. It has wrapped around my head 5 times and caused it to explode. Ive ran memtest for 7 and a half hours and it didnt find any errors. I will probably run it again overnight just to be safe. Ive also cleaned out the computer with an air compressor and checked the hard drive for bad sectors are none are to be found.

Im trying like hell to avoid reinstalling Windows but it seems unlikely.

Im going to try updating some drivers and see what happens. Some of the drivers on this computer date back to 2007.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

EDIT:

Alright so it doesnt look like ill be able to get onto the internet to do anything because nearly every time i try, i get the BSOD. Format seems imminent.
