Just put together an Asus P5Q-E with a nVidia GeForce GT 730 video card. Constantly getting black screens eventualy ending in a BSoD with a DPC Watchdog Violation with a Bug check code: 0x00000133 with hal.dll & ntoskrnl.exe being the main culprits. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi DragonRider,
Please fill in your system specsPlease follow this tutorial and download the tool. The tool will give you detailed information about your system specs, please fill in your system specs more completely including PSU, cooling and other used stuff like mouse, keyboard, monitor, case, etc.
The PSU, cooling and other stuff are NOT mentioned in the tool.
In the left corner below in your post you find 'My System Specs'. After clicking it you can find a link a little below that says 'Update your System Spec', click on this link to get to the page where you can fill in your system specs.
I have uploaded my dxdiag file and my system specs. I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanx
According to my findings, the problem may be with the PSU.
I've searched for the specs/requirements of the GPU and the CPU and the recommended minimum power is more than the 400W you say your PSU provides.
- The GPU minimum recommended power is 300W
- The CPU TDP (general power usage) is 105W, combined with the GPU 405W.
Everything else that requires power needs to be added too. Although that shouldn't be much more 30-75W (rough estimation), it is always recommended to have a PSU that has at least 25% more power than the max requirements of the entire system to be on the safe side.
The recommended PSU for your system would be one that provides 500W+.
Okay. I've ordered a 750W PSU. I'll let you know if the problem goes away.
Thanks for your help.
However I am still getting a BSoD with the same results. A DPC Watchdog Violation.
I have updated my system specs. I have included the latest mini dump file, DxDiag results and System information..
Here is the DM log.
