BSOD Keep Getting BSOD

watchdog is your clue.. ( didn't notice it before....incompatibility issue, search for all possible hardware that may be not ready for Windows 8 everything you plugged into the rig.. also check out your mobo..( and everything plugged into it ) just in case.. @

In Windows 8, the blue screen of death is displayed with a more friendly blue color, but the result is no more favorable than in other versions of Windows. The only fix is restarting your computer. That means your programs will automatically close and you will lose any unsaved work.

So why does the infamous BSOD appear? It is actually a precautionary alert that halts system processes to avoid corrupting data or damaging your computer. For example, if an unknown hardware device appears to pose a threat to your computer, it may trigger a "stop code," which will abruptly stop the current processes.

While multiple stop codes can cause Windows to shut down, the most common is the "DPC Watchdog Violation." This error, often displayed as "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION," has a bug check value of 0x00000133, which may also appear in the error message. DPC stands for "Deferred Procedure Call." The violation happens when the bug checker, called a "watchdog," detects a DPC that is running too long. This typically happens when the DPC is stuck at an interrupt request level (IRQL) of DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.

What causes DPC Watchdog Violations?

Several things can cause a DPC Watchdog Violation to be triggered in Windows 8. One of the most common is an SSD drive that has old firmware not supported by Windows 8. Another likely cause is an outdated driver for one of your hardware components. For example, if your sound card driver does not support Windows 8, simply plugging in a set of headphones could produce a DPC Watchdog Violation error. While not as common, software installations that affect your system software could also lead to DPC Watchdog Violations and the corresponding blue screen of death.

How do I fix DPC Watchdog Violations?

If the errors are hardware related, the best thing to do is update the firmware of your components and the associated drivers. Firmware and driver updates are usually available in either the Support or Downloads section of most hardware manufacturers websites. If the errors are software related, you can either reinstall the program(s) you may think may have started producing the errors or use Windows' "System Restore" function to fix potential system software issues.

If you have tried the above options and you still are experiencing DPC Watchdog Violation errors, you can use "Action Center," a control panel available in both Windows 7 and Windows 8. This panel displays important system messages and provides recommendations on how to resolve problems. If you still have errors after using Action Center, they may be caused by faulty hardware. If this is the case, you may need to have your PC examined by a technician who can diagnose what component needs to be replaced.

Thanks but like i said before everything on its place, i have checked everything couple times and also i install the driver from my Motherboard DVD.

[software182]

just passed 11 test with memtest and found 0 error with a single ram, now i have to wait for couple hours to make sure everything is right

[software182]

Well, still have the same problem, i don't know what's going on here :(

It's falling HDD with mechanical fault, and it will certainly die sooner or later. Just change you HDD and see, if all is well.

[software182]

Certainly, it's with falling HDD, as it will later or sooner die. Just change you HDD and see, if all is well.

I won't waste my time to replace my HDD, like i said, my HDD is ok and there's no problem with it. I was using it in my previous PC with no glitch. I'm planning to buy new ram in the end of month and see what happens.

If neither of the two RAMs are the problem, then there is really no use replacing them.

If nothing works then I would ask for a replacement of the motherboard, as if nothing else is faulty then motherboard might be.

As you wish. In you previous post, you said checked the HDD for bad sectors, right? But, the HDD problem is the mechanical one, and will certainly die any day. Also, you said in one of your above post(s) that you have memtest and the report is OK, then what is the point of changing RAM modules?

In the last, it's your PC, do what's best you feel to solve your PC issue. I had suggested, only because, you asked here in the forum.

Your an advanced user, text is not enough to help you...

Provide memtest logs

Provide BSOD logs

Provide chkdsk logs

+ Anything else that may help the person helping you determine the cause :)

I believe you can stress test your system with this program: http://www.mersenne.org/download/(found on another forum).

@Sonar… As all specs out OK from your diagnostics checks running from boot media but as soon as you load any Windows OS you get problems. There is always the factor that the culprit causing these errors is originating from the power supply unit being faulty, or not giving your new motherboard or CPU what they require.

Have seen similar symptoms before on boxes brought to my repair lab that have been down to the PSU when a system is either freezing or giving BSOD errors whilst booting or running an OS.

As for a reporting / diag tool that will give you the precise root of the evil, to the best of knowledge one does not exist, as i have never seen or heard of one in the many years that I have been running a corporate IT support company. Diag tools in the fault finding process of elimination can assist, but you will never find a Utopian "one stop shop".

Hope this provides you another food for thought & prevents you from going round in the same fruitless circles.

i just mentioned one due the new processor and motherboard mention.

i know its like finding a needle in haystack haha

This is something to consider about, good that you mentioned it.

@software182: What's your PSU, CPU, motherboard and graphics card model and make.

Also, did you check the PSU wires connecting to the motherboard and CPU.

[software182]

Yeah, i was right... there's something wrong with my RAM. Yesterday i purchased new ram, it's Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Pro 8GB dual channel. Everything went smooth as silk, no more BSODs :)

gonna buy new SSD or Video Card next month, lol.

btw thanks guys for all responses !

• Glad to hear, that your problem is resolved, but if you are using Windows 10, you must be ready to get BSOD again and again. It is now absolutely typical and unpredictable.
• I can not remember the last time I got a blue screen - I think it was when Windows 7 came out, but now it is completely normal.
• That is why, I recommend to Windows 10 users - make regularly restore points, then is simple repair problems. But as You know, it takes much memory, it is also recommended to delete old restore points.
• And one more thing, what I recommend - make and store some full registry backups.

[software182]

no, I'm using Windows 8.1 Pro as my main os, I don't need windows 10 for now, I only use win 10 my VM for testing purposes. lol.

Contact the one from whom you bought your original RAM. Tell them that your RAM is faulty and is giving problems like BSOD which were fixed only after changing the RAM.
