    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:

    .

    Let us know how this turns out for you.

    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.

    Bluescreen Error : DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    I have been through this error for few years now. My screen just freeze when playing games and then it my computer restart itself after the bluescreen appears with error code DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.

    Im tired and sick of this error.

    It is not because of the game because i already run clean uninstall and reinstall the game. Nothing wrong with the game.

    I run check and fix disk error using cmd and nothing was wrong either.

    I have been researching on the internet about suggested steps to fix this error and i tried all of them and none of them works.

    This error started when windows released windows 10 and offer me to upgrade from windows 8.1

    It is not going so well so i downgrade it back to windows 8.1.

    In my research i found a lot people facing the same error as i am after upgrading to windows 10.

    I updated all my drivers including clean uninstall my NVIDIA drivers and reinstall it. Nothing works

    Some people suggested that i should wait for windows update and the error will eventually go away itself. But guest what i have updated all windows possible update and it still getting the same error up untill now.

    If i remember it correctly this problem starts since 2015 or 2016 many years goes by and i still getting this error.

    THANKS FOR READING MY PROBLEM. I HOPE SOMEONE WILL REPLY AND HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM.
