Past few months have had constant crashings.

Question

so basically, for a while there, my computer would crash then give me the error code "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION" and i looked everywhere for a fix and nothgin worked. then i checked event viewer, and i have gotten 100s of "kernel power system" Event id 41 critical errors. its super annoying because even when im playing a game my mods and settings get rolled back. its super annoying and ruins the experience for me. i cant do anything at all on my computer without it crashing every 20-30 minutes.

0x8000400000000002 is the stop code i got for kernel power. if you need any more info, just ask. and before you ask, no theres no mini dump files or .dmp files.

please help me ive tried everything

Hi.

This bug check indicates that the DPC watchdog executed, either because it detected a single long-running deferred procedure call (DPC), or because the system spent a prolonged time at an interrupt request level (IRQL) of DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.

For this error, we recommend that you refer to this link for troubleshooting:
