windows 8.1 - DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD error, help me please
2014-04
I've just updated my win 8 to 8.1 and some unknown errors appeared in my PC. First of all, I got IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD reasoned errors, but after a few driver updates, it disappeared. Now I get DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error, when I start gaming, after 30-45 minutes. I don't know what cause this error, i've updated near all of my drivers in my computer. I thought the drivers cause all these BSODs, but not at all. I just wanted to ask you what should I do to cancel these errors? For a "milestone", I give you my two recent dump files:

Thanks for your help, guys.
Some of the drivers or firmware may not be compatible with the new version of Windows. Go to the control panel and check for updates. That must be it. It's quite obvious since you've just upgraded to a new OS :)
Your issue is caused by the Intel HD driver (igdkmd64.sys) which hangs and this causes this new bugcheck which was added in WIn8.

Ask Samsung for new drivers, generic drivers from Intel can cause issues when they are not tested by the OEM. Also rollback the driver to an older version, maybe this helps.

This is the BSOD mini dump that I have been getting recently. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas what would cause this. I just did a clean install of Windows 7 ultimate 32-bit. I don't do a lot with this PC. Mostly surf the web and that's when it happens. My only guess is that the power supply is failing and I need a new one. I wanted to check here and see if anyone else had some other idea before I bought a new one.
I've seen this a dozen times and it always was due to outdated or incompatibile drivers. It never had ANYTHING to do with power, sleep mode, etc.
1). Use Microsoft Windows Update, check all critical and look in Optional for driver updates. Reboot.
2). Go to the manufacturer's website and see if they provide Windows 7 drivers. Update everything unless you specifically remember updating that driver with the Windows Update program.
3). If your manufacturer does not offer Windows 7 drivers, there are a couple tricks. You can either google the name of the computer and look for people who have released Windows 7 drivers; visit each component manufacturer's website (nvidia, intel, broadcom etc.) individually and download the drivers for your device; or use your manufacturer's windows vista drivers and pray for the best.
I have the same issue on my pc, but doubt its the power supply.
My guess is its related to sleep mode, as I never have issues when working, only when I leave computer - I come back and most of the time I have crash problem.
I am going to try to keep power onto various things and see if that fixes it.
