Hi there,

I am getting DPC Watchdog Violation error on Windows 11. Previously I started getting this error on Windows 10 so I upgraded to Windows 11 but still getting this error.

This happens whenever I start playing games like Call of Duty Warzone 2.

Things I have tried already:

  1. Changing the Standard SATA Controller driver to "storahci.sys"
  2. SSD firmwares are already up to date
  3. Disabled Fast Boot
  4. Checked SSD for errors via CHKDSK
  5. Disabled AMD FreeSync in AMD Software Adrenaline edition

I have an 11th Gen Intel i7 Processor with MSI Z590 Pro Wifi Motherboard and 32 GB 3600 MHz RAM.

Any help would be appreciated.

    The logs displayed a new Windows installation with piracy / crack.

    Consider a clean install with licensed activation so that help can be provided.

    Retail versions of Windows can be purchased from the Microsoft store.

    Purchasing from third parties could be piracy / crack.
