    Frequent BSOD crashes, stating "DPC_watchdog_violation"


    Occurs whilst working, gaming, streaming videos. Screen freezes, audio continues for a while. Sometimes unfreezes there and then but most times continues to BSOD stating "DPC_watchdog_violation". Happens as much as four times an hour. Happened whilst typing this question even.


    I have attempted the fixes recommended on Microsoft site; update drivers, update SATA ACHI (SATA RAID in my case), clean boot, performed a system scan, ran memory check, windows update troubleshooter. No change, nor improvement.


    I have been keeping an eye on the event viewer to see if I could identify a pattern, but haven't noticed anything I am capable of fixing.


    I have attached the minidump files and would greatly appreciate if someone could check them out and point me in the direction of the culprit.

    Frequent BSOD issue Asus K53sm NVIDIA 630m Windows 10


    I would guess that your GPU is faulty, the crashes that are most frequent seem related to the GPU.

    I do have a suggestion, although this suggestion is more often seen with 0x9F crashes where drivers are in an inconsistent state for the OS.
    Try to change the powerplan, standard there are following plans
    1. Powersaver,
    2. Balanced, standard selected,
    3. High performance
    If you didn't change your power plan, you have balanced selected.
    Select High performance and see if it makes a difference.

    Frequent DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD's in the past week

    Answer-by-number:

    1. Have the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSODs stopped?

    2. Did you hide the "bad driver update" such that Windows Update won't install it again? See

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930

    3. Have you ever run the McAfe Consumer Products Removal Tool?

    4. Is KB3105514 listed in Installed Updates (not
    Update History    ) now?

    5. Is Firefox version 41.0.2 (or higher) and/or Google Chrome version 46.0.2490.80 (or higher) installed?
