Windows 10: help with hardware error on reliability monitor

Ever since yesterday, August 25th my pc has been freezing fairly regularly, if I let it sit for long enough it will blue screen and give the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error. I have checked the reliability monitor and it appears to be due to some hardware issue, from what I've researched, likely due to a faulty driver or maybe an usb port. This is the hardware error description.DescriptionA problem with your hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly.Problem signatureProblem Event Name: LiveKernelEventCode: 144Parameter

Cortana Error in Reliability Monitor

Hi,

I appreciate you for trying some steps in order to get the issue fixed.

If you don't find any error with Cortana, and the issue is only with reliability monitor projecting an error with Cortana. I would then request you to perform DISM and check if the issue is removed.

• 
  Press Windows key, and type CMD in search. Right click on CMD and click on Run as administrator.
  
  • 
    In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
    
  • 
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
    
• 
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  
• 
  Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
  
  
  

Please revert if you face any issues with reliability monitor.

 

After a Clean install-hardware error in Reliability Monitor

Not sure if these show up in what looks like an excellent Find Problem Devices script, but if you haven't already, look in the Event Logs most likely under Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System for an Red 'X' errors at those specific times seen in the Reliability Monitor.

I know for me, after scratching my head over these rather cryptic generic 'Hardware Errors' messages, I found I could correlated it to an event error when my Nvidia drivers crashed.

Something else I've learned over the years to do with Clean Installs is right after booting into the desktop of a Clean Install, I now wait awhile before pressing 'Check for Updates'. Seems Windows has a set of driver steps it wants to do first and asking for any new stuff at this points throws it off it's game.

 

Random unwitnessed BSODs and Hardware Errors in reliability monitor


Hi there, thanks very much for your prompt response. Strange about the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver being outdated as I updated all of the drivers from Gigabyte's website very recently. However, I have once again updated the driver and malware bytes.

I have just looked in the reliability monitor again, and very recently I had another 'Hardware error' (I will attach a screenshot of the info). What I find worrying is that lots of the BSODs have different error codes. Also, I also often have an error message saying that the graphics driver has stopped responding and has been recovered.

What do you suggest I do next?

Many thanks for your help.*Wink
