    DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION random failures most often at cold boot


    Hello, I have been going nuts over the occasional system crash most especially at cold startup. I have tried the usual fixes, including SYS SCAN, DISM, BlueScreen Reader NirSoft, AHCI standard driver, yada yada, no joy. I've been toying with doing a clean install just to get rid of this pesky critter, but I have so much other software installed, I prefer not to do that unless absolutely necessary. I will zip up the dump file and attach if its possible to do so, but see not way to attach it here.

    :)

    BSOD DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE randomly after cold boot/sleep

    For the past month I have been getting random BSOD's all with driver power state failure. They happen randomly, usually within the first 5-10 minutes of cold booting or waking my computer. Steps I have taken to attempt to fix the problem:
    1. Reinstalled GPU drivers/ tried old drivers
    2. Fresh installed Windows 1803, still happened, then fresh installed 1709
    3. Disabled Fast Boot
    None of these things fixed the issue, any help would be much appreciated at pinpointing the issue. Thanks

    Random blue screen of death on cold start, fine after reboot.
