Windows 10: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

i already exhausted the information that i know and still not fixed.


it started when my computer is in turned off display but the system is still running and not locked.


i woke the computer display through steam app on phone after i took a break.


the screen froze and gave me the VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE error. i restarted the system and went to the homescreen and few seconds, it gaves me the same error code. i restarted the system again but this time, it did not went through the home screen. The screen froze on windows loading then few minutes, gives me the error DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.


-so went to system repair and fixsystem boot up, nothing happens.

-boot to safe mode, uninstall graphics drivers and restart. i was able to get back to the normal boot.

-performed CHKDSK no problems

-performed sfc /scannow = did not find any integrity violation

-also tried to do the SATA AHCI Controller thingy but that option is not showing up on my system so i skipped it.





during the reinstallation of the graphics driver, it already gives me the error message of DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION


i tried both old update (may 2018-the one that i used before issue starts) and latest update (September 2019)


-reinstall on normal boot=BSOD during installation

-reinstall on safe mode, reboot ,blank screen=BSOD


so it is working when drivers are not installed or gpu not plugged.


i have searched online to check the dump files that causes the system crash and found 2 things. ntoskrnl.exe, nvlddmim.sys


-performed factory reset both keep files and remove files but it gives me an error that could not reset the system


-i used the final resort which is reinstall windows. without the graphics card.


update it again to latest os version available


-plug back the gpu and reinstall drivers


•update through windows

-no display during installation for 2 hours

-reboot system but stuck on blank screen after windows loading screen


•update via app from providers (both old and new installer)

-no display during installation then BSOD (DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION)

-reboot system=no display/no response from mouse and keyboard also


rechecked the dump file and what i got is dxgmms2.sys, nvlddmkm.sys, watchdog.sys.


and i dont know what to do next.


i do not have the old dump file but here's the latest one.

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.

 

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,

 

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:

Troubleshoot blue screen errors.

Let us know how this turns out for you.
