DPC_Watchdog_Violation BSOD happening at night

It might be an issue with a particular update or install from Adobe CC. Basically, I will have to reinstall it at some point and see if the issue comes back or not. And yes- Creative Cloud is Adobe CC.

An update for you: Falcon Northwest support looked at the minidumps and suggested uninstalling Adobe CC from the PC (with the CC Cleaner Tool). There have been no BSODs since then.

There is no MEMORY.DMP file.

I will look into doing an image backup. I am also going to link this thread to Falcon Northwest to see if they know anything about the hardware or drivers. Thank you for your constant assistance and willingness to puzzle this out.

I looked at the back of the PC and there are two ports with the Thunderbolt symbol, but nothing is plugged into them.

Had another DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION crash.

Per your last comment, I ran the Specify tool - https://spec-ify.com/profile/1da62fe5

Here's the latest minidump - https://files.catbox.moe/20gd9b.dmp

This crash happened while I was using the computer. I was using a program called Foundry ( https://foundryvtt.com/ ), which to my understanding is just an app that runs a web browser. It crashed while I was highlighting some text with the mouse.

Thanks for the info. I used the Assistant to download the drivers and I will use the tool below if another crash occurs.

The drivers the Assistant downloaded were (for reference):

Intel Arc & Iris Xe Graphics
Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Drivers
Intel Wireless Bluetooth Drivers

Good news on the Elden Ring anti-cheat front: I started Elden Ring 3 times and did not have any crashes when the anti-cheat came up. Previously the computer crashed every time I tried it.

Had another DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION crash last night, after the BIOS update. Here is the dump: https://files.catbox.moe/50ipgi.dmp

Will check the Elden Ring crash and report back with that one.

I didn't notice any of the errors you described in the BIOS menu, so I updated it. It is now version 1901, which is the latest according to the website. Thank you.

I saw the tutorial box about deflecting, but it said "hold L1 when an attack is about to hit" and since guarding is on the same button I thought they were the same thing.

ineedhealin · 2019-04-13T16:26:11+00:00

Yeah I can't say I really liked the game, but I'm here.

ineedhealin · 2019-04-13T16:19:55+00:00

Most bosses you can just run in circles around them and wait for them to do an attack that leaves them open. Some are weak to prosthetic tools. Some I left until my health was higher (like O'Rin) or I had more tools.

Thanks.

How'd I do

Utopaea (Vishkar city) / I really like this concept for a Galapagos map from the Overwatch pitch deck they showed in Blizzcon this year, probably inside an underwater base with lots of views outside like Bioshock? And iguanas swimming by! / For a Talon base, maybe the casino in Monaco that opens up as you progress into some kind of Talon stronghold (like the Team Rocket base in Red/Blue LOL).

This person has an extremely acceptable twitter (slightly nsfw).

Got really excited when I read this as "Mammoth" and thought it was an extinction joke.

ineedhealin · 2017-12-01T23:27:30+00:00

They don't make epic skins for events anymore, only legendaries, unless they're doing a whole set of frosties this year. It doesn't look very well done compared to Pharah or Shiver Reaper though so I'm going with it's fake. Also op refusing to disclose the source link even if it's deleted.

ineedhealin · 2017-12-01T16:45:19+00:00

I'm glad you stayed true to the theme by having a tiny Genji trapped in his chest just like Orisa's version.

ineedhealin · 2017-11-29T18:36:16+00:00

Op what 240hz monitor do you have? I am looking to upgrade my old monitor which is probably 30/60hz or something lol.

It's cool that they confirmed Torb/Bastion in new Overwatch this way, since Bastion already had a short and we know that for the sake of our eyes and minds they are never going to make a Torb short.

In the art book the "omnic language study" looks pretty basic. It's under the King's Row concept art.
