BSOD (DPC Watchdog Violations)
Good Evening everyone!
I will start this out by saying I am not an 85 year old grandmother trying to get on Facebook. I have been using computer since I was 8 (1993) and I am, for the first time, at a total loss. I keep getting intermittent BSOD (DPC Watchdog Violations). I have had this on two computers now, one a stock lenovo small form factor desktop and the other is a rig i just built myself. The only overlapping feature between the two is that I have installed windows on each. I don't really care about the lenovo but the new rig I just bought needs to work; therefor, I am reaching out in hopes to find a solution from a community of like minded individuals.
My PC:
Intel Core i7-7700
ASROCK Fatal1ty B250 Gaming K4
XFX Radeon RX 570 RS XXX Edition
TEAMGROUP Elite Plus DDR4 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 2400MHz PC4-19200 CL16 Unbuffered Non-ECC 1.2V U-DIMM 288 Pin
Sabrent 256GB Rocket Nvme PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-256)
DiabloTek PHD550 PHD Series ATX 550w PSU
Other peripherals:
22" Planar 1080p touchscreen monitor
x2 19" Sceptre 1600x900 monitors
Avolusion HDDGear 6TB (6000GB) 7200RPM 64MB Cache USB 3.0 External PS4 Gaming Hard Drive (PS4 Pre-Formatted)- I reformatted when it arrived for NTFS
A OTA Digital TV Converter (for my plex server)
A bluetooth dongle, wireless mouse and keyboard as well.
Attempts at Remediation:
Tried wiping the drive and starting fresh.
Tried swapping out all parts listed above, one by one.
Tried updating every driver
Checked compatibility for all hardware
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am at a total loss and about to give up on windows, and go play online pinochle and try to figure out how to post videos to facebook all day long with my grandmom.
