BSOD - Watch Dog Violation Started Occurring

Hello Everyone,

After almost 4 years of successful use of my PC build, I've just now experienced the BSOD. The first instance I believe happened 2 days ago. I then proceeded to externally clean my computer (dusting, checking cable connections, etc..) hoping that it may have something to do with that, but then I got it again about an hour ago. I'll be honest, didn't think I'd ever get a BSOD. But alas, here we are. I'm not as savvy as most of you here, so please bare with me. However, I did follow the posting instructions and downloaded the v2 logger. I executed it but I'm not sure if it worked 100% because one of the last cmd lines outputted "Killed msinfo32.exe due to 420 second timeout". I still have a comressed folder to share though. So, if anyone would like to take a crack at this or begin to guide me on troubleshooting measures, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you for the help in advanced.

Send full memory dump (MEMORY.DMP from C:\Windows)

Hello @MrPepka,

Please see the mini dump file.

I still need a complete memory dump (MEMORY.DMP file from C: \ Windows). Send it via Google Drive

I'm unable to locate the complete memory dump file..

Do you have a lot of disk space where Windows is installed? Start Windows Explorer (by clicking on the folders icon at the bottom), right-click on Computer and select Properties, select "Advanced system settings", go to the "Advanced" tab and click in the "Startup and Recovery" section on Settings and see what type you have set saved memory dumps

This is what I'm seeing.

Attachment 298590

Tick "Disable automatic deletion of memory dumps when disk space is low" and watch if those memory dumps are being saved
