    Randomly getting a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION


    So after wiping my computer back to factory settings my computer will freeze at random, usually ending in a blue screen with the error DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, I have done a fresh install of all drivers, and done ram health tests however the issue persists leading me to believe that my SSD may be failing?I'd like to add that this error never happens when I'm playing a game but seems to happen quite frequent when my pc is idling or using applications such as photoshop etc.Here is the minidump crash file contents:************* Preparing the environment for Debugger Extensions Gallery repositories

    :)

    Hi,

    It is possible that the error DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION may occur if the iastor.sys driver is incompatible with Windows 10. To isolate your issue, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Have you made any recent changes before this issue occurred?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Any response will be highly appreciated.

    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:

    Let us know how this turns out for you.
