Windows 10: DPC_Watchdog_Violation crash? It happens at random.

So I'm on the overpriced Alienware 51m r1 with the 9700 chip and the 2060. I'm on the windows 2004 19041.450 build and I've been battling these blue screens for a while now... What could be the issues?

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

DPC_Watchdog_Violation at random intervals

Hi TenForums,

I have recently been experiencing DPC_Watchdog_Violations at seemingly random intervals.
It doesn't matter if my computer is idle or in use and there is no specific time when it crashes, sometimes it happens on boot and others it happens after a few hours of use.

I have tried the following:
Manually updating the SATA AHCI driver
Disabling Win auto driver updates
Clean installed GFX drivers
Force Windows to full shutdown instead of quick shut down
Unplugged all attached USB devices and left the PC idle (still crashed)
Used SlimDriver to find and update as many out of date drivers I could
Run a /SFC scannow
Run antivirus/anti malware checks

Attached is the crash dump

Here is a Speccy overview:
Attachment 103039

Can provide more information if required.

Thanks for your time

 

Random Freezes and BSOD (DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION)

Hello Matt,

I regret for the inconvenience you are facing with DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION on your system. We will help you with this issue.

I suggest you to unplug all external devices connected to the system and restart the system to check if the issue persists.

Sometimes new hardware can cause blue screen errors. Since you recently added new hardware to your computer, shut down your system, unplug the new hardware, and then restart to check the status.

Many blue screen errors can be resolved by making sure that Windows is up to date. In the search box on the taskbar, enter Windows Update, select Windows Update. On the Windows Update page, select Check for updates.

I suggest you to Run System Maintenance Troubleshooter
