    Need Help with "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION" Error & Freezing PC


    Hey everyone,I’ve been dealing with this annoying issue where my PC either shows a blue screen with a "Watchdog Violation" error or just freezes up no matter what I’m doing. I’ve already formatted the drive, reinstalled Windows, updated all the drivers, and even updated the BIOS, but nothing seems to fix it.I couldn’t figure it out by looking through the dump file, so I’m going to upload it here. If anyone’s willing to help me figure out what’s going wrong, I’d really appreciate it!Thanks!here is the filehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gsczd90xVrFHpfEk7hMkNdsxseqm8Y69/view?usp=sharing

  3. 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.


    I also suggest you to follow the article below and check if it helps:
