Hi,
Computer specs:
Windows 10 Pro, update 1909
Intel Core i7-8700K, 3.7 GHz (w/ NZXT X62 Kraken)
ASUS Z370-E GAMING Motherboard
2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200
ASUS ROG STRIX Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 OC 8GB GDDR6 PCIe Graphics Card
Samsung 970 EVO SSD 500GB (Boot drive)
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM HDD (Secondary storage)
Ethernet network connection
Peripherals:
- Razer Blackwidow (old model, 2011?) -plugged into monitor USB hub
- Logitech G600 -plugged into monitor USB hub
- Blue Yeti microphone, with Audio Technica M50X headphones
- Xbox Wireless Controller USB Adapter
I've been trying to find the cause of a stop code, DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLCATION, however when the error occurs my PC does not create a dump file (Event ID 161, "Dump file creation failed due to error during dump creation.") The crash occurs while browsing the web, watching YouTube, playing games, even when the PC is idle. I've tried many things, here's what I can remember:
- Assure that IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller is set to "Standard SATA AHCI Controller" and not iastora.sys
- Update SSD Firmware AND Driver
- Clean install (using DDU) NVIDIA graphics driver
- Update BIOS to latest version
- Update ALL drivers from mobo manufacturer's website: Realtek Bluetooth Adapter, Realtek Digital Audio, Intel Ethernet Connection, Realtek Wireless LAN, Intel Chipset. The only drivers not installed were integrated graphics (due to dedicated GPU) and the SATA storage driver (because it's iastora.sys).
- Turn off XMP Settings (The only overclock on the machine)
- Check Disk
- SFC Scan Now
- Making the pagefile larger, current size is > RAM size
Thanks for reading!
EDIT: Microcenter (the vendor I purchased my components from) told me this error is likely due to hardware and recommended that I unplug my extra USB peripherals to see if the error persists. The USB peripherals I unplugged were: Blue Yeti USB Microphone, Xbox Wireless Controller adapter, and a USB Hub for my monitor. If I don't see a watchdog error, I'll start adding the items back one at a time.
