New to your forum, sorry in advance. My PC started getting BSOD crashes a few weeks ago (DCP Watchdog Violation). Been through reddit tech support a few times and they had me do lots of system checks, sfc checks, harddrive checks, OS checks, even Memtest, and we couldn't isolate the problem. Thought it might be the power supply as I was running very little for what my pc recommend. So I bought a new RM750x, put it in and ran it for a few days. The crashes came back and got so bad I couldn't boot anymore and was getting screens 0xc000000f, error to read the boot configuration. Thought my SSD was fried, and the second reddit post I put up recommended a clean install, so I just bought a whole new Samsung SSD and just finished the clean install and setting everything back up.
Then I got the same dcp watchdog violation. This is starting to break me. Any advice on what could be causing this. I doubt its the OS as it was just reinstalled on a new SSD.
If it helps my specs are i5-6600k CPU, MSI Krait Z170A Motherboard, DDR4 16gb Ram, and the aforementioned Corsair 750x PSU. Could this be caused by the temp, my liquid cooling has got noticeable loud prior to this whole ordeal, and monitoring my pc temps as I type this out the show minimum 42 degrees, maximum 60 degrees. Currently sitting at 45 degrees but did watch it jump to 57 very quick when I started opening thing up.
Please any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
 
It sounds like the OS install is corrupted. You'll have to reimage it (re-install Windows). You can do so via the Repair option.

1. Restart your PC to get to the sign-in screen, then press and hold down the Shift key while you select the Power Circle with line Power icon icon > Restart in the lower-right corner of the screen.

2. After your computer restarts, select Troubleshoot > Reset this PC.
 
That's

What reddit though. But I bought a new ssd and did a whole new install on it.
 
I've got a 1tb harddrive as a d drive. It has an old version of Windows on it from when I upgraded from 7 to 10. Could that be causing some issue. Idk if its important or not but since a clean installed Windows when i boot up Windows asks me whether I want to launch Windows 10 or Windows 10 series 1 I think was the other option.
