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
and check if it helps:

System Maintenance troubleshooter finds and clean up unused files and shortcuts and performs maintenance tasks.

• Type Troubleshooting in the
  Search box from the desktop.
• Select the Troubleshooting option.

Random BSODs "Bad_Pool_Caller"


This BSOD happens anywhere, irrespective of BitDefender. It takes place even when the antivirus is MSE in case of Windows 7. The most common cause is an expired trial or a cracked installation. Some examples:

• Norton: Windows 7 Random bsod caused by tcpip.sys - Windows 7 Help Forums
• MBAM only: Epic BSOD error appears just after few seconds from boot Solved - Windows 7 Help Forums
• McAfee: BSOD on Internet Related Programs (tcpip.sys) - Windows 7 Help Forums
• Avast: Bad Pool Header 0x00000019 at random times - Windows 7 Help Forums
• Avira: BSOD randomly Crashes my Laptop and freezes at Memory dump 100 - Windows 7 Help Forums
• Crack: BSOD every 6 minutes, also recent freezes - Windows 7 Help Forums

We are on our way of troubleshooting. If the uninstallation and reinstallation does not work, we will take the next step.

I, in general, know what I am doing and what I am suggesting. If I feel that I am unable to control the issue, I will definitely ask for help.

 

Random stuttering, perma-freezing and some BSODs (DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.)

Hi,

For some time I've regularly been experiencing stuttering, perma-freezing and BSODing. I've used the SFC, DISM, CHKDSK several times, got brand new RAM, as well as a fresh Windows install, all to no avail. After all of these steps and resetting windows, the problem continues to persist. In the less common instance that I get a BSOD rather than just a permanent freeze, the error code has been: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. On the advice of old posts I installed WinDbg to parse a minidump file which just pointed to ntkrnlmp.exe. I'm also currently trying to run Driver Verifier but it has yet to produce a crash.
With the attached minidumps can anyone tell me any potential fixes that I haven't tried.

Thank you.
