[Cappy2234]

Hi,
So after installing WIndows 10 and updating all my drivers this happened.Can someone help fix this error & is it possible that changing paging file caused this?

HI @Cappy2234 and Welcome to PCHF

Please read the BSOD Prework before doing the following.

Please download the Sysnative BSOD Dump + System File Collection App - save to Documents folder.

Run the app - Double-click on the downloaded EXE file
Output = new folder created in Documents + a zipped version – SysnativeFileCollectionApp folder + SysnativeFileCollectionApp.zip.

Please note that the app averages ~3 minutes to run on most systems; other systems - it my take as long as 10-15 minutes to run. Please be patient.

Also note: The app auto-zips the SysnativeFileCollectionApp output folder. It is located in your Documents folder.
Windows Explorer should open and highlight the zipped folder

Please attach the SysnativeFileCollectionApp.zip to your post and await further instructions

I’ve attached minidump and sysnative file collection app (both files were created after I got the DPC Watchdog violation) . If these 2 files don’t help I’ll force DPC Watchdog violation and do sysnativefilecollectionapp again.Hopefully I don’t have to force this error since its really annoying.

Thanks for those.

With the Watchdog Violation, it’s extremely difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. Let’s run some tests first.

[ul]
[li]Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt[/li][li]When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator[/li][li]When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following command into it, press Enter.[/li]
[ICODE]sfc /scannow[/ICODE]
[li]Wait for this to finish before you continue[/li][li]Copy and paste the following command, press Enter.[/li]
[ICODE]findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log > %userprofile%\Desktop\sfc.txt[/ICODE]
[/ul]
That will create sfc.txt on your Desktop. Please attach sfc.txt to your next post:

If you want to perform fewer or more tests, press F1, use the Up and Down arrow keys to set the Test Mix as Basic, Standard, or Extended, and then press F10 to apply the desired settings and resume testing.[/li][li]When testing is completed, the computer restarts automatically.

Here it is,it does have some corrupted files that it couldn’t fix.

[jmarket]

Go ahead and run:
[ICODE]chkdsk /f[/ICODE]
and let it run. After doing so, let us know if it finds errors and then try repeating the action that caused the BSOD in the first place.

Any updates for us @Cappy2234?

[Cappy2234]

Hi,sorry for not replying for so long.
I discovered the problem,it’s the newest driver for my graphics card (398.82 version for my gtx 1050ti).I get dpc watchdog violation when I install this driver,so I’m going to ask people on nVidia forums.

[jmarket]

Glad to hear @Cappy2234

Do let us know what you find out

[Cappy2234]

Hi,just a quick update:it turns out it’s some kind of error with nVidia’s latest drivers.I can’t download the latest driver yet,but maybe I’ll be able to download the driver when they fix it.
Thanks for the help !

[jmarket]

Ensure you get your Video drivers from your card manufacturers website, AND NOT FROM WINDOWS.

Any updates for us?

[Cappy2234]

I can’t do anything with this error.I’ll just use a bit older drivers until they fix the new one.

Thanks for the update. So you are saying you found a work around?

[Cappy2234]

I think so,yeah.
