Windows 10: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error

Hi, I have been having a problem with my laptop where it randomly crashes with the error code DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. I have made sure that all of my drivers are up to date. Along with this, every time I boot up the fans start spinning very fast. Looking into task manager shows Antimalware Service executable and System eating up all of the CPU. After some time Antimalware service executable goes down but system stays around 7%-10%. I used Windows performance recorder and this is what showed up in WPAI have already tried the following but nothing helped:chkdsk /f /rsfc /scannow Dism /Onlin

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.

 

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:

Let us know how this turns out for you.

 

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,
