  1. Frequent DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSODs along with freezing beforehand


    Hello all, I am new to the forum and am currently experiencing several random freezes along with BSODs. The BSOD that pops up appears to be related to the watchdog timer (DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION). I understand that this means that the timer is being overloaded or overwhelmed, but I'm not sure what is causing it. The BSOD seems to be trigged when browsing the web. I have tried updating drivers and checking Windows Update to no avail. After analyzing the latest dump file with the WinDbg tool, this is the end result. I have used the snipping tool to show portions of the dump file, but if you would like more information from it, please let me know. Thanks.

    :)

  2. Random Freezes and BSOD (DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION)

    Hello Matt,

    I regret for the inconvenience you are facing with DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION on your system. We will help you with this issue.

    I suggest you to unplug all external devices connected to the system and restart the system to check if the issue persists.

    Sometimes new hardware can cause blue screen errors. Since you recently added new hardware to your computer, shut down your system, unplug the new hardware, and then restart to check the status.

    Many blue screen errors can be resolved by making sure that Windows is up to date. In the search box on the taskbar, enter Windows Update, select Windows Update. On the Windows Update page, select Check for updates.

    I suggest you to Run System Maintenance Troubleshooter
    and check if it helps:

    System Maintenance troubleshooter finds and clean up unused files and shortcuts and performs maintenance tasks.

    Follow the steps given below:

    • Type Troubleshooting in the
      Search box from the desktop.
    • Select the Troubleshooting option.
    • Select View All option and select the
      System Maintenance.
    • Click on Next to perform the
      System Maintenance troubleshooter and follow the steps.
