Dear TenForums,

I've recently bought and built a new system. However, after a couple of days of clean usage i started having Blue Lines & Dots during my booting which results in a freeze and not procede any further (i'd have to manually power it off/on for it to go away.
I personally troubleshooted most of it (performed benchmarks with each monitor individually, updated drivers, etc). However, i finally ended up getting a BSOD today (DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION).
I took my time to investigate the issue and it ended being something related with SSD/Main Booting Drive (Driver, Firmware, etc). I downloaded Samsung Magician and replaced the Windows Driver with Samsung Driver per many suggestions online as i own a Samsung 970 PRO. However, Ztuker told me to personally use V2 log collector and produce a BSOD file so it could be reviewed and narrowed down more exactly to which was the main reason of the BSOD.
