    DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION while playing games


    I built a new pc and have been receiving this error in a select few games. The only 2 so far are Helldivers 2 and Path of Exile 2. I can play the game for an hour or more then all of a sudden my system locks up and BSOD. War thunder, DOOM and others dont give me grief after playing them for an extended period of time. 9800x3DAsus tuf 5080Asus strix B850 -A wifiTridentZ Royal 6400 RAM.Monitoring the gameplay of these games im dropping NO FRAMES, temps for the GPU are at about 50c, while the CPU is at around 60c. Steady 180-200fps. So what gives? Its a brand new system.

    Hi Mattie,

    The DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION blue screen error can be caused by a variety of hardware, firmware, driver, or software issues. Now, you mentioned that you already changed the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers to standard. Did you update the driver as well? And also,
    are you getting the same blue screen error when you play other games? Or is it only occurring when you play a particular game?

    For the mean time, if you haven't tried any further troubleshooting steps, we suggest that you perform the suggested steps from this article:

    DPC_Watchdog_Violation after playing one game specifically?

    Hi!

    A few months ago, I started getting back into playing Roblox games, only to learn that after about an hour of playtime in around the same time period, I will bluescreen with DPC_Watchdog_Violation. It only happens with Roblox, and only happens after I play for around an hour straight (or in sessions very close to each other, though the exact time it takes to bluescreen varies). I play many games other than Roblox for far longer at a time, but this never happens.

    I contacted Microsoft support, but they were not able to fix the issue.

    List of things I have tried:
    Reinstalling roblox

    Updating windows

    Clean installing Nvidia drivers

    Disabling 3rd party game overlays

    Running an SFC scan

    Minidump and system info: minidump.zip

    Any help would be appreciated, and I can provide further info if asked.
