Windows 10: Windows 11 BSOD Error, DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

Hey folks, I'm experiencing BSOD errors on a fairly new laptop 2 or 3 months old. It is an MSI Titan GT77 with an Intel Core i9-13980HX and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. My log file points to a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, but I am not very experienced in troubleshooting this so I'm not sure exactly how to fix it. I'm including a link to my dump file for further analysis by someone with more experienced than me. Thanks for your help!https://drive.google.com/file/d/11dlwGxrScKcNzNzxQL9jMsXv4GlcbuCc/view?usp=drive_link

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD on WINDOWS 11

Hello, recently I got a BSOD DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error on Windows 11. This only occurred when I Booted Up PC > Start Steam > Press Play Game in Steam > PC Froze and Crashed to this BSOD error.

I just need verification on what caused this error but I am assuming it's my Graphics Driver?

TIA, Heres the minidump file: DUMP FILE – Google Drive

 

Windows 11 BSOD - DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

I recently updated my PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11. The PC itself is about 3 years old but has been upgraded with new components about 18 months ago.

Throughout this entire time, I ran Windows 10 without issue - no crashes and no BSODs.

Since updating to Windows 11 about a month ago, I am encountering BSODs fairly regularly. The most common stopcode I see is DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. It occurs mainly when playing certain 3D games.

One 3D modelling program in particular encounters it nearly every time - within 2-3 minutes of loading it the system locks up for about 30 seconds and I get a BSOD with the above stopcode, then the system reboots. I ran this program for hours at a time with no issue in Windows 10.

I am monitoring my system and GPU temps while running these programs as I thought it was an overheating issue, but the temps are stable. And the system ran fine for years under Windows 10 no matter what.

Other demanding games and 3D modelling programs can also run for hours under this installation of Windows 11 with no problem. I can run a CPU stress test using AID64 Extreme with no overheating or throttling.

Since encountering this issue, I've tried the following:

• Updating Nvidia Drivers for GPU (as at 8 Feb 2022)
  
• Installing latest Windows 11 update (as at 8 Feb 2022)
  
• Updated ASUS motherboard drivers (wifi, bluetooth, chipset, etc)
  
• Ran sfc /scannow - Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
  
• Checked SSD firmware updates - all good.
  
• Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic - all good.
  
• Ran Error Checking Tool on my SSD (This PC > C > Properties > Tools > Error checking). No errors found.
  

Any help would be appreciated!
