Windows 10: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION recurrent error

I am repeatedly getting a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION blue screen error randomly when I run audio/video programs such as games or streaming video. When my computer reboots I have no audio but everything else works fine. Sometime later, usually after I put the computer to sleep, the audio comes back and when I try to play a game again the error occurs.Here is the Event Viewer error I get every time this happens.Faulting application name: DAX3API.exe, version: 3.20501.517.0, time stamp: 0x5d5e6824Faulting module name: DAX3API.exe, version:

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,
