    Repeated DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION


    Hello,For the past few months I've been getting sudden crashes while running various forms of media games, videos, etc.When I view a dump, it shows as DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION but I can't really find any more information as to why it's happening.In the past I have used DDU to uninstall the current drivers and had reinstalled the drivers to no avail.I have also done various troubleshooting methods such as running sfc/scannow, checking repair tools, checking for updates, and attempting to repair files.Since then, I have had more crashes:https://www.mediafire.com/file/b3685d2knhn433p/022725-9578-

    Hi,

    It is possible that the error DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION may occur if the iastor.sys driver is incompatible with Windows 10. To isolate your issue, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Have you made any recent changes before this issue occurred?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    Any response will be highly appreciated.
     
  3. Blue screen: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    After a recent updating, my machine has blue screen every 5 - 10 minutes.

    The error code is DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    I saw another post here which suggest to use "iastor.sys". But I don't have that in the driver list. Mine is storahci.sys.

    Please advise! Thanks,

    DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

    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:

    .

    Let us know how this turns out for you.
