Windows 10: PC freezes and crashes with blue screen error: Stop Code: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION while...

Recently my PC, running Windows 11 has started to freeze and then completely crash whenever I use three different pieces of software: Blender and Adobe Substance Painter while 3D modelling and when I play the game Baldurs Gate 3. I receive a blue screen with the error: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, as seen in the image below.This only happens when using the three programs mentioned above, often occurring when I move the camera view in these programs, even while modelling in the least-intensive display view in Blender, so I'm not totally convinced the issue is the program being too intensive.My syste

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,

Crash/blue screen

Hi

I assume from the title of your post Crash/Blue Screen that the PC has crashed and produced a *BSOD=[Blue Screen Of Death] =Blue Screen; and that the PC recovered from this; if and when you see the Blue Screen write the Stop Code down; recover the PC or use one that is working to access the net and look up the Stop Code.

nb: You may be able to view this with a [*BlueScreenView] application, google for this.

Edit Link - Blue screen of death (STOP error) information in dump files.

Description
===========

BlueScreenView scans all your minidump files created during 'blue screen
of death' crashes, and displays the information about all crashes in one
table. For each crash, BlueScreenView displays the minidump filename, the
date/time of the crash, the basic crash information displayed in the blue
screen (Bug Check Code and 4 parameters), and the details of the driver
or module that possibly caused the crash (filename, product name, file
description, and file version).
For each crash displayed in the upper pane, you can view the details of
the device drivers loaded during the crash in the lower pane.
BlueScreenView also mark the drivers that their addresses found in the
crash stack, so you can easily locate the suspected drivers that possibly
caused the crash.
