Windows 10: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

So I got this bluescreen yesterday and solved it by resetting my PC to a two day old save and it all worked fine for the rest of the day, today it occured again, my PC boots normally but freezes and crashes after I log in. I was thinking that new NVIDIA Game Drivers caused the problem, but I updated them after I solved the issue yesterday, so I have no clue what could be the problem, I also checked all my cables, theyre all properly plugged in and I checked the latest installed software but there is nothing what really new.

I would really appreciate help, I dont wanna reset my whole PC but I dont see no other way to be honest.

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,

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:
