Windows 10: Getting DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION Blue Screen Of Death While Browsing.

Hi, I've had this problem awhile now and have tried several suggestions from here. While browsing sometimes the PC will freeze and the go to BSOD with DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION.


I tried everything suggested here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/pc-still-freezing-dpc-watchdog-violation/8e1d3588-34f9-44dc-8dfd-7fb73bb08db3


I've tried using an old graphics driver from before the problem started and it still crashed so I think we can rule out a driver problem.

Could it be the hardware? What tests can I run?

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,
