Windows 10: Windows 11, seemingly inexplicable BSOD crashes at random.

The title pretty much, I have no idea what might be causing this issue, I've fully reinstalled windows 2x by now, so I don't think it's driver related, I've tried a lot of the scans in cmd already, like the dism scan and scannow, I can't access automatic repair, it seems like a specific bootfile is corrupted, and I don't know how to solve that. I also can't run bootrec /fixboot, since I apparently don't have access to my own computer.I looked at the minidumps, and it seems like PCI.sys is causing problems, that's the only real data I know aside from that it's a DPC_Watchdog_violation.

Seemingly Random BSoD

Hello,

I bought a Laptop about six months ago, and immediatly expirienced crashes. They happen seemingly at random. No matter what I'm doing, and the error on the BSoD has given a variaty of reasons over the months. I've done two or three clean installs of windows
10 and try to keep all my drivers updated. Althrough, I do this through via a program - DriverEasy.

Hope you can help.

 

Inexplicable restarts

Thanks for your patient help and analysis, zbook. I'll step through some of your suggestions over the next few days - there's a lot to do and some look a bit hairy! That is, for a PC that is working sweetly right now...

Meanwhile, as requested in the BSOD thread (sorry, I misunderstood and posted there by mistake), I've attached both ZIP files.

One step I did try right away was to answer your question about whether my BIOS is up-to-date. I had no success at the AMI site but did get some info from this commercial site:





It was one of the '9' (I counted 10) listed here:

Random BSOD while browsing internet


BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.
