    Frequent Blue Screen BSOD DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. Stuck on what the cause might be.


    Hello,


    Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. I've been getting frequent blue screens with the error DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.


    To date I've checked that the BIOS is up to date, all drivers are up to date and the SSD Firmware is up to date. None of these things seems to have resolved the issue.


    Last night I ran Memtest86 and it turned up no problems with the RAM specifically.


    I've got the minidump files and a speccy to share as well.

    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,
