    Hello,I have started receiving the DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION BSOD for the past week now. I have tried the 9 easiest ways to resolve the issue. I bought this pc 3 months ago. The first pc came out the box with this BSOD and so I sent it back and received a new one that worked out the box. I downloaded easydriver and tried to keep my system and drivers updated. I have not been able to identify what is causing this BSOD. I haven’t changed any hardware within the PC. A couple days ago I couldn’t load nearly anything and I had about 10 minutes before the system would crash. I used easy driver to unins

    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.

  3. 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,

    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.
