Windows 10: Freezing when idle when idle Sometimes BSOD DPCWatchdog Violation 133

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.I am unsure if the DPCWatchdog Violation 133 is an indication of what the problem is, our is just a byproduct of some other issues.Sy

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.

 

Windows 10 freezes/deadlocks after being left idle for a few minutes

I have done all of what you suggested, and it still freezes when idle for a few minutes. I have just performed a 1 hour + download. Five minutes later, while the computer was idle, Windows 10 froze.

 

Random but frequent BSOD after idling for some time.

Hello, our computers in computer labs with Dell OptiPlex 7470 often run into BSODs after certain amount of idle time. Below are the common errors we see:

• KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
  
• CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED
  
• SYSTEM_SERVICE_ERROR
  

These are domain-joined computers, running with same Windows master image deployed through Clonezilla.

Their occurrence seems random and without pattern, one computer can show BSODs with these respective errors at different times.

Below are the steps we tried:

• chkdsk /f /r /x
  
• dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth: no error found
  
• sfc /scannow: no error found
  

(The above three commands in order)

• Hibernate and Fast Startup is disabled
  
• Power Management for screen, hard disk, computer set to never sleep in any scenario
  
• C-state control disabled in BIOS
  
• Scanned disk for any errors using the software, CrystalDiskInfo.
  
• Windows Memory Diagnostic (shows no error found)
  
• Driver Verifier (unsure of how to continue using it after its BSOD showing Verifier found violations)
  
• Cleaned and reseated RAM
  
• Swapped with SSD with same Windows image.
  
• Pulled out one of the workstations out to test environment and installed with clean windows image, does not have BSOD issue.
  

But the problem seems to be re-occurring every now and then even after all these steps.

Below I am attaching a screenshot of output of msinfo32 and all the dump files we had in one of the workstations.
