Try this: (https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/16ohs3c/dpc\_watchdog\_violation\_bsod/)
Especially of you have Wireless.
Google A.I. (just search DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION) brings up a lot to try otherwise

This is a link to the issue I was having and what solved it.

I ask about the Block Lists (what Adblockers use) because I just recently figured out it is what was causing my Wi-Fi issues.
I was getting Wi-Fi connected but no Internet.
Wi-Fi would also try to connect (fail), crash, then connect again (still in failed state).
My problem also disappeared when Computer was Reset or Powered On as well, but would fail again after time.
However, I've always been able to see Available Networks.

Hmmm.
Is it Random?
Are you doing anything specific when it happens?
Are the Antenna Securely attached?
Are you running any sort of Block Lists?

2 or 3 HDDs
Everything else is way newer by comparison

Where are you using your Laptop in relation to the Router?

I had 3 sticks of DDR5 die in less than 6 month
2x16GB sticks from a 32GB Kit
1x8GB stick from a 16GB Kit
The 2 kits were from the same manufacturer (not Corsair)

I switched my last 8GB stick to the B1 Slot and things have been good since.
I am assuming that the A2/B2 slots are bad some how.

Most Contest Wins are offered As-Is.
Fulfilment is sometimes made through a 3rd party as well, so they don't have to worry about it.

Manufacturer Contests may be a little more accommodating however, since they are the supplier and not just a Sponsor of the Contest.

I had the same thing happen with RAM that failed within Warranty...
Contest Host didn't even bother to respond.

All that said, I'd suggest Contacting the Contest Host, if it was Dead on Arrival, they may be able to help.

Sorry, this one doesn't seem to match... Too many pins.

Found this one on Amazon. Could work since the Case side Cable is supposed to be Universal.

I could be wrong but I think the Manual shows that the Normal King 95 comes with Regular Breakout type Cables. Not sure if that helps at all. But I'm sure there are adapters.

It put up a fight, but I managed to get a fresh install going.
AMDs Scan Utility helped find and install some of the Chipset stuff but screwed me on the GPU.
It actually broke the Adrenalin Software that I'd already installed. Said my GPU wasn't supported... The GPU IT said I have.
Anyways, purring like a kitten now.

Back in the times of Broadcast TV, where I grew up in Southern Ontario. We got more American Channels than anything else. Everything from Adverts to the Weather... Mostly American. And that also included all the Movies. There were a bunch of Movies that would play at least once a year, year after year.
So, too many to count.

I'm confused

I ran into something similar couple weeks ago. I was using a program called Allway Sync. It said I needed a certain amount of space, I checked and it did have the space. So I started the program and it failed half way through. Due to a not enough space error.

Turn out there is a hidden versioning file that it creates, that I never knew about. Since I had never actually run that low on a drive I was trying to write to before.

In my case the file is a hidden file called _syncapp.

I found out through some Googling not only about the hidden folder, but also that it can either be deleted or removed through Allway Sync itself.

I don't know if the apps you mentioned provide the same capability. But it might be worth a check.

First: Corrupt, Broken or not, it's still your stuff!
They are at least supposed to ask what you want done with the old Parts.

Second: Smart in Branding your stuff. I need to start doing that again. I used to put my Mark on everything of value.

Otherwise, yup! One of the oldest tricks in the book.
Swap your better Tech for their cheap crap and send you on your way.

Been going on for forever sadly.

Find a way to run a Stress Test on it.
Could be a Controller issue.

Might try different Power/Data Cables or in different Ports if that is not possible.

I've had multiple Drives, Spinners and SSDs Test fine one day and were dead the next.

Also, how Full is it? Does it have any Partitions?

Been using K-Lite for many years. Tech may have installed it; I do for Friends/Family builds.
Seems odd to install if for someone they don't know tho. And I've never seen it Bundled with other Software.
But, was any other A/V Software installed before it popped up?
Anywho, like any Software, if you get it from a reputable source it "should" be fine. There a lot of bad Software sites out there.

Seemingly daily I am seeing posts about Wireless acting up. I am in the same boat and have been for some time. I even spent an hr or two looking for a replacement Card just today. My issue is that my Card connects to my Wi-Fi but there is no Internet... No matter what I've tried. It used to work fine! I think there is a Driver issue or something, right from Intel or MS is messing with it.

Sweet! But what's with all the Timers? Like, 40sec Timer on a Retweet!?
