My laptop just isn't cooporating. I recently updated to windows 8.1 and I had an issue where I couldn't pick up any wireless networks at all. I saw this was a common issue amongst others and I read somewhere that you need to disable wifi and then re enable it. So I tried to do that and half way through enabling it my laptop goes to BSOD. You know the one... blue screen, it restarts and has the error message dpc_watchdog_violation. Then my laptop will keep doing this blue screen loop until I shut it down by pressing the power button. Once I shut it down I can usually get back to the desktop without having a BSOD. Then I tried to right click on the network Icon and trouble shoot it but half way through trouble shooting it also goes to BSOD and then goes into the loop until I cut it by shutING it down by the power button. Someone please help me. It seems no matter what I do it just goes to BSOD.
