Solved BSOD DPC watchdog violation

Im afraid that you are having the problem that at least 4 other members have reported. The bottom line is that the graphic card manufacturers are not prepared for 8, as they should be. Here is one example of the problem and the (really bad) solution. The solution is not to use the grapichs driver that you have, but to use the gneric one that is included with the system.
Here is a thread showing two members with the problem

You may want to call the manufacturer of your computer and see what they suggest and if an update will be coming soon.

okay then no problem at the mean time, but can we be sure that the ATI company can solve this issue or no? this is the question, we will hope for the best, but they should.

now my pc will run normally when i run it on the gneric one?

Windows 8 is new. Answers to questions like yours have to be based on experience, and 8 does not have any yet. The procedure worked for others, hopefully it will work for you. Why not call your computer company, tell them your problem and see what they suggest. Anything that you try, start with a system restore point.

OK, i won't make this long any more. i was wondering, are the updates that window 8 checks for and downloads them to the PC " windows updates ", are capable form now on and to the near future of solving those stuff? just asking by referring to your experience and knowledge.? because we have nothing to do unless hope for that to come true, are you with me on that? Thank you.

The updates are for security, software enhancements and improvements. The problem with the driver (if that is truly the cause) must be corrected by the driver manufactuer, they must update their drivers. I suggest that you ocassionally go to the web site and look for updates. Do not download the entire Catalyst, just install the driver. The catalyst thing can cause more problems.

Please start your own topic and include the uploaded reports there.

For starters:
At work we start all repairs with a set of diagnostics. Often they find problems that weren't even expected. It's a waste of time to try to fix software on a system that has hardware problems.
Please try these free diagnostics for starters: Initial Hardware Diagnostics
Also, please ensure that you have ALL available Windows Updates (it may take several trips to get them all).

Only 128 Windows Updates installed. Most systems have 160 or more. Please visit Windows Update and get ALL available updates (it may take several trips to get them all).
