Windows 10: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION - Windows 10 - Please Assist!

Hey All,

I built 3 PC's for work and 2 of the 3 are having random BSOD's
As you can imagine this is less than ideal on machines that need to be stable!

The issue is consistent - DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
I've already spent quite a bit of time doing the usual fixes such as:
- Replacing the SATA AHCI Controller driver with the default one provided by windows
- Replacing that same driver with a current one via a driver tool
- chkdisc of the drive
- New RAM (already returned when the issue remained)

Here is the link to the dump files from Wednesday. The ZIP contains all the individual files there, so either pull individually or just the ZIP.

And here is the builds:
Mobo: ASRock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac AM4 mITX
CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G
RAM: G.Skill Aegis 16GB 2 x 8GB DDR4-3000 PC4-24000
SSD: Inland Premium 512GB SSD 3D NAND M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe 3.0
PSU: PowerSpec 650

CPU is all stock speeds.
RAM on this PC currently set at 2400mhz. I’ve tested higher speeds & lower to see if it fixes BSOD but no luck.
I assume the culprit is the same on both PC's crashing as they have the same drivers/parts.

Appreciate all help & insight! : ) thank you and will check back often!

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
