DPC Watchdog Violation Error

Anonymous

I've been having this issue for about a year now, and I'm stuck. This error message happens randomly, and I know it has to do with one of my drivers but I'm not sure which one it's or if it's because of multiple different drivers affecting the DPC. My PC is in perfect health, and I've ran scans and other updates to see if anything would change, but unfortunately, it hasn't. I've updated by BIOS and windows as well. I have the minidump file as well if anyone could take a look to see what is causing my computer to crash.

I'd appreciate your help!

Just wanted to post this in the thread in case someone has the same issue as I did:

After doing some research and scans, I found out that any Razer application, especially Razer Cortex and Synapze, was causing the DPC Watchdog error. If you're using any Razer applications with a NVidia audio driver, remove the Razer application from the computer. It seems as though Razer produced these drivers without realizing their code isn't compatible with NVidia's. Since removing these Razer applications about a week ago, my computer hasn't had a single BSOD or any other issue as well.

Feel free to message or comment below!

    Your link just has a shortcut to the minidump file, not the actual file, please try uploading the minidump file again.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Please upload any minidump files you have for analysis, I will check those to see if they provide any insight into a potential cause of the system crashes.

    Open Windows File Explorer.

    Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump

    Copy any minidump files onto your Desktop, then zip those up.

    Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive, DropBox... etc.), then choose to share those and get a share link.

    Then post the link here to the zip file, so we can take a look for you.
