    Can't figure out what's causing this bsod have tried I can come up with. But willing to try everything again just in case I missed something.happens only whilst in games, and programs like furmark. Have not tested any other hard hitting programs that could indicate anything.First everything freezes on screen and after like a minute the bsod pops up PC:Motherboard: GIGABYTE B650 AOURUS ELITEGPU: MSI RTX 4090 ventus 3x OCCPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3DPSU: Corsair RM1000e v2 ATX3.0RAM: Corsair Vengeannce RGB DDR5-6000 c30 DC-64GB 2 STICKSMain SSD: force mp510 1tbsimple SSD: Samsung SSD 860 evo 1tbHDD

    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.
