Hello,

I have the same problem for about a week but did not have time to deal with it up until now. I am getting the DPC_Watchdog_Violation occasionally when my computer is inactive. After several minutes of inactivity I am getting the blue screen with this error and a huge sad face...funny Windows 8. Anyways I followed a previous thread and I think I got the needed files to send to you with the SF diagnostic tool. I am running a new Windows 8 it has been only a couple of months now. I will attatch the file here, thanks in advance.

Not Available ACPI\AOA2011\0 The drivers for this device are not installed.
It is most likely the Lenovo Always Online Always Connected driver. If not available from the Lenovo website for your model, you may want to try this one in comaptibility mode: Betreff: S400 missing ACPI\AOA2011 driver - Page 2 - Lenovo Community

Daemon Tools (and Alcohol % software) are known to cause BSOD's on some Win7 systems (mostly due to the sptd.sys driver, although I have seen dtsoftbus01.sys blamed on several occasions). I strongly suspect that this hold true for Win8 systems also.
Please un-install the program, then use the following free tool to ensure that the troublesome sptd.sys driver is removed from your system (pick the 32 or 64 bit system depending on your system's configuration): [DEL] DuplexSecure - FAQ [/DEL] Link broken as of 21 Jul 2012

There are no memory dumps in the uploaded files. Please check C:\Windows\Minidump for them. If not there, please:
- follow the directions at Set MiniDump
- check in C:\Windows for a file named MEMORY.dmp If it's there, zip it up and upload it to a file hosting service and post a link to it here.
