Windows 10: Help! I am getting a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION Error on my Lenovo Laptop. How do I solve it?

My computer keeps Blue Screen Of Death with a DPC_Watchdog_Violation error code message and I can't seem to figure out why. I've tried using some online guides but nothing is fixing the problem. I have used various methods of diagnosis like the sfc /scannow, DSIM, Chkdsk, etc. but the problem still remains.Also, I have tried repairing the Windows OS copy with the recovery media downloaded from Microsoft's website. But this too has failed and the problem returned.The error seems to occur during the booting phase and is causing the laptop to take a long time to boot to the Windows login screen.

What about MSI GS60 or Lenovo Y50? THey are light, portable and powerful... also both are 15" and in your budget. *Toast :toast:

 

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

Hi Mattie,

The DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION blue screen error can be caused by a variety of hardware, firmware, driver, or software issues. Now, you mentioned that you already changed the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers to standard. Did you update the driver as well? And also,
are you getting the same blue screen error when you play other games? Or is it only occurring when you play a particular game?

For the mean time, if you haven't tried any further troubleshooting steps, we suggest that you perform the suggested steps from this article:
