Hello how to fix BSOD DCP Watchdog Violation

John Doe 20

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

This occurs randomly, and never when I'm at my PC, if I leave it unattended for a fairly long amount of time I usually come back to a restart, or a BSOD with this error.

Here is the mini-dump folder.

Thank you very much for help with this matter.

Your minidump files just indicate generic memory (RAM) corruption no specific cause of the crashes is listed

To try to force Windows to show any faulting drivers... etc. the best option would be to turn on Driver Verifier, let your PC crash 3 times, then you must turn off Driver Verifier, and finally, upload any newly created minidump files

Before you run Driver Verifier, please create a new System Restore Point

Note, if you have any difficulty getting into Windows with Driver Verifier enabled:

Start your PC, just as Windows attempts to load (spinning dots), press and hold Power Button for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down

Do this twice

On the third start Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment and from there you can access System Repair, Safe Mode, Command Prompt... etc.

Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Settings and click Restart

Upon restart, press 4 to enter Safe Mode

Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run these two commands, then restart your PC.
