DPC Watchdog Violation/Freezing and Audio Loops
Hello, I've never used a help forum before for my OS and I don't know much about computers so forgive me if I'm not very good at helping you help me. What's been happening for a while now since....a few weeks ago, I've been having this issue where if I'm watching videos on YouTube or rather watching any form of video at all, I get a sound loop, my computer freezes and eventually crashes. The BSOD then tells me that I need to look up a DPC Watchdog Violation error. This doesn't happen while playing games on Steam or anything else really. I don't usually buy any super graphically intensive games, I think. The games that would be the hardest on my PC I believe would be either Xenoverse 2 or Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations. And when I play Xenoverse 2 nothing out of the ordinary happens. And nothing weird happens when I do anything else really. Just when I watch videos. I've tried lots of methods like doing the chkdsk thing with command prompt, the scannnow thing, going into safe mode and uninstalling my graphics cards, reinstalling them later, turning off fast start up and switching the Intel Chipset Family to the standard SATA one. And after that I tried updating all of my drivers but it just kept happening. I just factory defaulted my computer but I just got a freeze and audio loop and I'm pretty sure it will keep happening unless I find some permanent solution for this.
Seeing as how I factory defaulted my computer and I haven't BSOD'd yet, I can't get you a dump file yet, which I apologize for. Sorry about disregarding the procedure for this sort of stuff but I didn't really know where else to ask about this. I want to prevent this from happening again but I also want to fix the problem I have now before it worsens.
I went into Event Viewer and saw this around the time I got the freeze and audio loop issue.
Here's the info that I knew how to get about my PC:
I also use an Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti as my display adapter if that's any help.
Again, sorry about not following procedure and probably making a messy thread about this. I hope this helps you help me and I thank anyone who takes the time to read this and help me out.
