Windows 10: Multiple BSOD - Maybe updated graphics driver or hard drive?

Hello all,

My Windows 10 PC has been crashing fairly often the past couple days. Usually they are BSOD's but occasionally the computer will just outright freeze and I have to perform a hard reset. Right before the BSOD's started I updated Windows along with my graphics card driver/software, but I haven't made any hardware modifications in a while. I've been trying to fix this myself the past couple of days and I still haven't been able to track down the root cause. I've reached the point where running an sfc scan returns no errors (after fixing it by running dism). Thank you for any help you can provide.

Here is my information...

PC having a dpc_watchdog_violation bluescreen when trying to launch games

Hello,

Since a couple of days now,I couldn't be able to launch any games via Steam or from the desktop. Each time I try,the game loads,the PC freezes and it shows a BSOD with a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. I tried multiple things such as updating my graphics card drivers,making
a clean installation of my Nvidia drivers,checking the content of the hard drive etc. It works for like a day or two and then the problems happens again.

Please answer quickly

Diagnostics Test

Clean boot
Please try the following:

• Open taskmanager
  • Go to the tab startup
  • disable everything
• Search msconfig and open it
  • Go to the tab services
  • Check 'hide microsoft services'
  • Uncheck all other services
  • Click apply and click ok
• Reboot if asked

See if the problem persist, if the problem does not persist enable in the startup tab in taskmanager 1 item and in the services tab in msconfig also 1 service, reboot and see if the problem persist. Keep doing this until you find the culprit or there is nothing left.
If the problem still persist, try booting in safe mode and see if the problem still persist

For example, after posting yesterday, I've let the computer run with very minimal interaction and it still hasn't crashed. I was hoping the dumps would show a suspicious driver or some other culprit.

 

There are 4 different crashes in the dumps, some if not all crashes might be caused by a corrupted service.

 

Thanks again for your help. I disabled all non-MS services/startup programs and my computer has been very solid. I enabled 3 startup programs a couple days ago; Plex, OneDrive, and Brightness Controller (program to use audio with my Apple cinema display) and I received one BSOD yesterday. Attached is an updated log collection. Can the latest crash be associated to one of the startups I enabled?

Not sure, it is a system service crash but there are many drivers outdated.
A system service crash could be caused by one of the startup items and/or drivers.

Please remove ASrock software, they use drivers that are known for causing bluescreens.
Please update/reinstall/remove AOMEI Backupper and Paragon.
Please remove the AMD software to remove following driver.

The newest AMD driver but with as less as possible software.

 

Alright, I believe I did everything stated above except for uninstalling AOMEI Backupper (I use this for my monthly backups., any alternative suggestions?) I'm still getting the occasional BSOD. It seems to happen more when I'm using intensive software like Lightroom or PowerDirector. I'm starting to think it might be one of my hard drives. Here is my latest capture...

Thanks again for your help.

 

You might be right about the hard drives looking at all the NTFS references.
Run below tests on all hard drives

Here are the screenshots. I'm not an expert but nothing looks too concerning to me. Could it be my NTFS driver? If so, how do I go about updating that?

There is indeed nothing concerning fortunately *Smile

The NTFS (Windows File System) driver is a driver from Windows, Windows drivers can only be updated through Windows Update.
In case you would ask, you can't force a specific update.

 

Back again. I've recently upgraded the HD that I thought might be the culprit but the BSOD's are still happening every so often. Them seem to be limited when I'm putting a hard drive under heavy load (2 times the past few weeks while using Adobe Lightroom, once while using Cyberlink Power Director). Attached are the latest log files. Thanks again.
