BSOD (DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION) when playing games

Hi guys,


After spending more than 3 days unsuccessfully trying to resolve this problem, I am completely frustrated and need some help.


I have a Laptop ASUS N550JK, with the following specs:


Intel Core i7 4700H
16 GB RAM
Graphic cards: Intel 4600 and Nvidia GTX 850M.
SSD Samsung EVO 250 GB
Windows 8.1 x64 Professional


Basically, if I try to play any game (League of Legends, Counter Strike GO, Just Cause 2, etc) using my NVIDIA card, after some seconds the Windows freezes completely and I get a BSOD with the message DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. If I remove the driver, and play these games using the Intel card, everything goes well.


I already tried the following solutions, but without success


* Did fresh install of Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.
* Installed the Intel/ NVIDIA drivers from the Asus website; install the video drivers from the Intel and NVIDIA's websites, install old drivers.


I also did a DDU of these drivers, no difference.


* Removed all antivirus software, unnecessary softwares, etc.
* Updated the BIOS.
* Replaced the SSD by other HDD and did fresh install of Windows, drivers, etc.
* Tried to keep only one RAM stick, both, etc. Also ran memtest86 and no errors were found.
* Tried to run the "driver verified" and it did not get any error until I run and game and break the system.




Curiously, I ran some gpu stress tests (OCCT, vmt, memtestCL) and I did not get any error.




Does anyone have any thought about why this problem is happening? What should I do?


Thank you so much for your help.

Hi RockSide & Welcome to the forums ^_^,

Really sorry for the delay. Sadly, there are not many analysts :(
Do you still need help with this problem? If yes, then kindly reply to this thread and I will be notified via email and reply within 48 hours.


According to the screenshots, it seems like either your processor or the Graphics card (Most Likely) is over heating.
