    Consistent BSOD after roughly 6 hours of PC working


    So as the title says my PC is experiencing random BSOD after ~6 - 7 hours of working daily. Doesn't matter if I'm in the game with heavy load on CPU and GPU or if I'm just browsing the internet, once the ~6 hours timer comes in, I get BSOD, restart and I can continue using my PC for another 6 hours. Once I left it on just a Windows login screen and after 6 hours it BSODed again.Honestly speaking I'm at complete loss as what is causing the issue. This is newly built PC and those issues started happening just the next day after building it the PC is ~1 week old and BSODs are daily.The appearin

    Consistent BSOD - DPC Watchdog Violation

    I've been getting consistent blue-screens with DPC Watchdog Violation listed as the cause. I've been working on fixing it for nearly three days now, attempting the various solutions thrown across the internet.

    Here's what I've tried so far:

    • Uninstalling and reinstalling graphics drivers (also via safe mode)
    • Uninstalling/disabling Nvidia audio drivers
    • System restore to a point before the crashes
    • Chkdsk /r (no errors)
    • Memory test (no errors)
    • Driver roll-backs
    System information (custom set-up):

    • Asus Rampage IV Extreme motherboard
    • Intel i7-3960X CPU
    • GEFORCE GTX 690 Graphics card
    • 16GB RAM
    The computer has been up and running for nearly 6 years now, without any large problems. It began on Windows 7, and was upgraded to Windows 10 shortly after its release. It has been running perfectly on 10 for several months.

    The issues started following two major windows updates, which included driver updates, but rollbacks don't seem to fix the issue.

    Here is a link to several of the most recent Minidumps that have been collected: Microsoft OneDrive

    I've looked through the dump files with WinDBG and the like, but I either don't know what I'm looking for or it's not there.

    I ran the computer for roughly 6 hours today while at work, with the Graphics Card disabled and several applications open and actively running, with video and the like. When I got back, it had still not crashed. This leads me to believe it's almost certainly
    an issue with the card, but I can't figure out how to fix it. This leads me to the dreaded question: is this a hardware issue? If I need to replace the card, I will, but I'd like some consensus that that is indeed the issue before I make the investment.

    Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm almost sure there's other things I've tried that I forgot to list, but those are the big ones.

  4. Consistent BSOD after roughly 6 hours of PC working

    I have an Asus TUF F15 gaming laptop, 2021 model. I am always facing an issue where the WiFi is not working, even though the WiFi icon is disabled from the icons.

    Yes, I made some changes recently based on suggestions from the community. Here are the steps I took to reinstall my Wi-Fi driver:

    1. Press Windows + X and choose Device Manager.
    2. Expand the Network Adapters section.
    3. Right-click on your Wireless driver.
    4. Click Uninstall.
    5. Check the "Attempt to remove the driver for this device" box.
    6. Click Uninstall to confirm.
    7. Restart your computer and let Windows reinstall your driver.
    After performing these steps, the Wi-Fi worked initially, but when I used the laptop for 5 to 6 hours consistently, the Wi-Fi started fluctuating.
