DPC Watchdog Violation. Laptop won't boot up.
Howdy,
Working on a Dell latitude 6520 laptop and all of a sudden I get a DPC_Watchdog_Violation when the machine boots up. I get the spinning dots thing as the boot starts, then they freeze, then I get the BSOD. I've seen all kind sof things onlien about removing certain drivers, and other things but haven't had any luck so far.
I've tried sfc scannow, manually removing drivers via Safemode, and running a chkdsk. I started the chkdsk last night and it got to 11% and sat there for a long time so I went to bed. When I got up this morning I was back at the Watchdog error screen. I rebooted into Safemode and it took me back into running a chkdsk again. Not sure if that means it didn't actually finish last night or what.
The last thing I did was install new drivers for the wireless NIC card but I've since removed them via Device Manager but I still can't boot.
Anyone have any experience with this error and know what I might do to fix it? I CAN boot into Safe Mode and was going to do a system restore but it tells me I don't have any restore points (yea Windows 10).
Thanks!
