    My issue:My system is completely freezing when idle. Sometimes it will BSOD and create a mini dump. The vast majority of the time it freezes with no BSOD, and I need to hold power button. The two times it BSOD and made a mini dump, they looked identical.Most of the time this happens is when idle. It has only occurred a single time when I was playing a game. I could play a game for hours and be fine, but if I leave it idle it will freeze in under 30 minutes.System Specs:CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900XMotherboard: MPG X570 Gaming edge wifiGPU: nvidia 3060tiWhat I have tried:- Windows fresh install o

    Some tutorials needed

    Hey, there isnt any 110/33.. etc

    The is list is like this: [133/33,134/34,135/34...]
    my default is 133/33 but now i step it to 134/34 and my CPU becomes 2.41Ghz...

    Bluetooth still on while idle

    Thanks for following the steps. Now, the settings won't take effect if you are only using normal PC idle mode. Normal functionality of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings are to stay connected even if PC is idle. With the settings that you have created, we would
    suggest that you set your PC to automatically go to Sleep or
    Hibernate
    once idle. In this way, the settings "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" should take effect.

    To set your PC to automatically go to Sleep or Hibernate when idle, please follow these steps:

    • Open Control Panel, set view by: Small
      icons.
    • Look for Power Options.
    • Click on Change when the computer sleeps on the left pane.
    • Set a timer.

    Please try it out. Hope it helps. If you have any other concerns, don't hesitate to come back to us.

  4. DPCWatchdog Violation 133 when idle

    *Solved* DPC watchdog violation(133)

    Whenever I'm in a game, I would randomly freeze and my pc restarts. I then get a new dump file in which it says watchdog violation 133. However I do not know the exact cause of this issue as I have already re-installed a clean windows.

    dump files – Google Drive

    here is the dump file. Please reach out if you know what is wrong. I have also gotten a synthetic watchdog timeout (i dont know what that means.)
