I keep getting a BSOD error titled "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION" and I can't fix it.

I've updated windows and every driver I can find, and I've even applied new thermal paste but that still doesn't seem to fix the problem.

Hello,

All of your minidumps lead to iaStorAc.sys, which is the storage controller usually linked to Intel Rapid Storage Technology.

I would recommend uninstalling Intel RST and then going to Intel and downloading the latest version of the Intel RST.

Let me know how this goes.

    Hello,

    You should be able to go to the share menu on the app/website that you are using to share a link.

    If you are using Google Drive, right-click the folder and then press Share. Make sure "Anybody on the internet with the link can view" is selected.

    If you are using OneDrive, make sure that "Anybody with the link can view' is selected.

    If you are using Dropbox, make sure that anybody with the link can view.

    After making sure that you have selected the right settings, press "Copy link" (or similar) and then attach it here.

    It might be a convoluted process, but since this is a public forum, I'm not allowed to share personally identifiable information like email addresses.

    Hope this helps.

    Hello,

    Could you go to C:\Windows\Minidump, take all of the .dmp files, put them in a ZIP folder, and then upload it to Google Drive/OneDrive/Dropbox?

    This way, I can analyze the minidumps and see why your PC might be crashing.

    Hope to hear back from you.
