Sometimes at the windows logo. Sometimes it tried to go into automatic repair, but also freezes.If I keep a video pla

Windows boots to the desktop then freezes

It boots up in safe mode and seems to work fine. Now I just need to figure out what's causing windows to freeze up befor it fully loads in normal start up operation.

Any suggestions where I might start ?

Hello Matt,

I regret for the inconvenience you are facing with DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION on your system. We will help you with this issue.
