No crashes since last post - marking as solved.
I happened to be swapping a hard disk tonight and poking around my BIOS and noticed an option called "SATA Aggressive link power management" and that it was ENABLED. As this is a computer I leave on...
Thanks, I did turn the verifier back on right after this dump. Time to wait...
And just got another BSOD - different this time but it least it wrote a dump (attached)

Sorry folks, not solved. Got another hard lock (no dump) just now while I was using it (during lots of network traffic - video was asleep).
Trying newer AMD and Realtek drivers now...
BIOS update seemed to do the trick. Marking as Solved with fingers crossed.
Stress test passed okay. Going to try it at least once more before crossing my fingers and tagging this solved.
Would be happy of course if the BIOS update fixed it, however I'm skeptical as the...
I just ran the BIOS update successfully. Updating AMD drivers next.
Realtek of course is already at the latest revision.
Will run another stress test once AMD updated.
EDIT: AMD drivers are...
OK, got another BSOD again but with the newest driver. Minidump attached.
I got a lockup but no BSOD/dump over the weekend. Will try another stress test and see what happens. I've also swapped the ethernet to the other port on the motherboard on a whim.
Anyone have a good...
Update - the download on the site is dated 2/19/2016 but the driver itself in that download is dated 1/7/2016.
Will try a stress test on the NIC to see if I can trigger another BSOD...
Thanks, by following your links I've got a new driver dated 2/19/2016 from Realtek, will see how that works.
The "old" driver is replaces was dated 10/1/2015.
If the "new" driver still crashes is...
Yes, I have sleep and hibernate options though I do not use them...
OK I got another crash and minidump with the driver verifier running on all non-MS drivers. See attachment.68749
This is the program: Download Real Temp 3.70 | techPowerUp
There is no installer/uninstaller, it is just a folder of files and you run the exe. That ring zero driver is part of that set. So really,...
Looking at the link about the ring 0 driver, the only thing I run that uses that is RealTemp - which isn't installed, it's just an EXE I run, so for the time being I will make sure not to run it.
...
Done. New file attached.
OK, I finally got another crash where a minidump was generated, so this attachment should contain that now.
EDIT: Attachment deleted, see new attachment in later post.
I set the PC to minidumps just after posting - so we will see what happens at the next crash.

Usually every couple of weeks this machine will BSOD with a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION on an unknown module.
If I run heavy disk I/O the crash will happen a little more often but even then it could go...
