consistent hall.dll and ntoskrnl.exe Watchdog Violations.

Been getting Watchdog Violations on my new Gaming PC for a while now.. I have tried every general troubleshooting method. I can see the cause is related to hall.dll and ntoskrnl.exe, but i really have no idea what any of it means. Running Windows 10.

Please help, Onedrive link is below.

Hello tylerkeays17,

Welcome to TenForums!

The analysis of the crash dumps all point to the wireless network driver (rtwlanu.sys):

Code:

Please see if you can update the TP-Link wireless USB adapter driver from the manufacturers website.

I would also update the NVidia Graphics drivers to the latest versions too.

Been two days now and no crashes... thank you so much!

Thanks for the feedback! Let us know if you get any other problems.

Wow I spoke too soon.. Just had another one. Lately they seem to occur when I'm using Revit 2021, an architecture program i need for my studies.

The same rtwlanu.sys file is showing up and so I do not think there was any update made to that file. Can you confirm what it was that you did after my first response to you.

The same details are being detected for the older crashes and for today's crash.

I downloaded the driver from the website here. The driver installation seemed to work fine. I just followed the prompts on the setup file they provided.

Download for Archer T2U | TP-Link Australia

It is likely that the manufacturer has not updated the driver so the same one is being reinstalled. You might need to get a newer one directly from Realtek or contact TP-Link and see if they are planning to update it soon.
