Hello,
I recently put together a gaming PC on January 15th. It has had four BSOD's since then with DPC_WATCHDOG_Violation description. They were not frequent as a week or two apart, but for a new built PC it seems strange to already be running into these, so something is amiss.
It is using two drives that were formatted from a previous build that were used as storage; a Samsung 840 EVO SSD and a WD 1TB HDD Caviar Black. They are currently only storage drives and were formatted during initial BIOS setup after the OS was installed and Windows recognized them and a new SSD is being used as the main Windows boot drive. Hopefully there are no left over drives from the old PC still on them conflicting with the boot drive.
Debugging tools have indicated different causes for each BSOD crash, such as HTTP.sys, nvlddmkm (Nvidia driver), hal.dll, and ntoskrnl.exe.
System Specs are:
CPU: Intel i7-4790K at stock 4.00Ghz
RAM: 2x4GB Corsiar Vengeance 1866Mhz RAM
GPU: GTX 980 @ stock 1177Mhz
Boot: Crucial MX100 128GB SSD
Storage 1: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
Storage 2: WD 1TB Caviar Blue HDD
PSU: Corsiar AX860 Watt
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit with latest updates.
I recently (as of three days ago of this posting) installed new drivers for keyboard, mouse, and wireless headset.
I am using Geforce 347.25 drivers, as 344.11 was used before that and there were many CTD with Display Driver stop working and a clean install of the latter solved most of those issues.
