Windows 10: Dpc_watchdog_violation

Hi, my computer started crashing today, with the mentioned BSOD(DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION) it has already happened 3 times (while browsing). I am attaching the dump files. Thanks in advance for your help

:)

 

Screen freezes constantly after latest update

Now I’m getting DPC_Watchdog_violation

 

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

The minidump files showed two different errors, a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (133) error and a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b) error.

The DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION may be caused by a wireless driver, the athwnx.sys.

Which wireless adapter do you have and which driver is installed?

Also, what ASUS software is installed?

 

Hi darthtony,

Welcome to the 10forums *Smile

Your Logitech Webcam 300 is causing the crashes, please make sure to update the drivers.

I would suggest that you temporary remove AVG and use Windows Defender as alternative.
In the link below, go to part C and download the uninstaller to ensure AVG is proper removed.

Thank you very much for your assistance, I updated the webcam drivers and unistalled AVG, i will see how it goes from here. For future reference, how do you check which driver/process is causing the crash?

Note that it isn't quite as easy as it sometimes may look like, there are several different kinds of crashes of which some do require understanding of a bit more than the basics but don't let that discourage you, do research on the things you don't understand/know & ask and keep trying is the best advice one could give.
