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

can't upgrade to 1903 - now Nvidia driver gets DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD

I've had 1803 for a very long time and it never was able to successfully upgrade to 1903.

The error was

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0xC1900101: Feature update to Windows 10, version 1903.

The most recent Windows update now causes my machine to get DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. I found that if I unplug my monitor from NVidia GT 710, the error and BSOD goes away. I tried removing and reinstalling the MIcrosoft recommended driver and the BSOD came
back.

So I removed the driver and have plugged into the builtin DVI port, so I only get 1980x1080, instead of 4K resolution.

So is there a way to force the upgrade to 1903? If I do will that resolve the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks very much!
