    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.

    Hi Duncan,

    Conflicts with a third-party program is one of the possible reasons why you are having a blue screen that has the error code, DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. For us to assist you better, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Have you made any changes to your computer prior to this issue?
    • Which version and OS build number of Windows 10 is currently installed? To check, press the Windows key, type winver, and press the Enter key.
    • Do you have a third-party security software installed?
    • Have you tried the steps in this
      link
      to troubleshoot blue screen issues?

    Meanwhile, I would suggest that you try running your computer in clean boot and check if it helps. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows 10. You can follow the steps
    in this
    link
    .

    Note: Please go through the section: How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting of the Kb article to boot the computer in normal startup after fixing the issue.

    We'll be looking forward to your reply.

    I did both of the things you suggested. It said that all my drivers are up to date. It scanned and repaired my hard drive. When I turn on my computer, it seems to boot up okay now. However, whenever the computer goes to sleep the problem with DPC_watchdog_violation
    still comes up. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
