  1. DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error


    I've been encountering this error where my laptop would freeze and suddenly blue screen. It's a bit disruptive and I'm not really sure what the dump file means:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g9avtaZHgEg__3pPOfyOJb6Raap7R1K-/view?usp=drive_linkI've attached a zip of the dump files. From initial search, seems like it's related to memory? Can someone confirm? Should I be switching my RAM?Please let me know if this needs more information.Windows 11 HomeVersion 23H2OS Build 22631.3958

    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.

    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.

    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,
