DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION Blue Screen of Death

Hi all,

While installing Windows 8CP I also flashed a modded BIOS and added a second HDD to my laptop. Now I find myself unable to find where this BSoD is coming from. I first thought it was the HDD, I swapped another HDD in my laptop and the BSoD is still there. (+The previous HDD is now working fine in another system).
Another thing I tried is resetting the BIOS to it's default values. I also tried downgrading the IGP drivers back to the stock ones from Win8CP but the BSoD's still occur.

Here's how it usually happens.
-Mouse pointer becomes very slow to almost unresponsive.
-Screen might go black giving a message about the Intel Video driver crashing and being restarted.
-In event viewer I get what google says is problems with my WiFi card (Intel 6300).
-Also in event viewer I get write problems to one of my HDD's.

Sometimes the laptop can be stable for >24hours like today, and sometimes it crashes after 5 minutes or instantly after bootup.

I'll attach 8 minidumps here. Have fun hunting for the bad driver (as I think that's the problem)! :thumb:

If more information is needed, please ask.

Hi,

Please visit Intel.com and let it scan to update your system:

IntcDAud IntcDAud.sys Fri Oct 15 04:28:17 2010
igdkmd64 igdkmd64.sys Fri Feb 11 14:16:32 2011

There are failures in your storage drivers but they are new. I think VirtualBox caused them just by being installed, so you should uninstall that to test.

Correct, I can say that yes: I have vbox installed. and yes, the crash does mostly happen when vbox is running. I'll do that scan thing from Intel and report back (Although I thought I had updated all my drivers to the lastest ones). Did you check all or just a few of those dumps? I still suspect the other disks is going bad.

Thanks for the fast reply by the way.

You're welcome.

You can run this command on any disk you want, to see how it is and/or fix it:

chkdsk /r X:

where x is its drive letter.

I checked the latest few which is all that's needed. My opinion is that VirtualBox is the cause. It's more of a gut feeling than anything.

BSoD's still not resolved. Any recommendation now how I solve this when VirtualBox is the cause? I'd uninstall it but I need it for school.

The first thing I tried was chkdsk with all sorts of flags, it found bad clusters, but that might have been due to the BSoD (my vhd on the drive got corrupted too, a lot of work lost).

Uninstalling VirtualBox is the only way. Its drivers are loaded with Windows and that needs to be alleviated.

This is IF it is the cause. I really believe it is.

The rest is up to you to decide. :)

I'll uninstall VirtualBox, reboot the laptop in 5 minutes and then it's basically gonna run untill it BSoD's again. It has to sleep every now and then to move to school and back, and between lessons. I think I can miss VirtualBox untill friday. I'll keep this thread updated.

Thanks for the help.

Yes, please update the thread with the results.

This way, we can automatically know if VirtualBox is incompatible with Windows 8 or not and proceed to help others in the correct manner should it ever be seen in crash dumps again in the future.

Good luck!

So my 1564 has been running for 1day 7hours 51minutes and 59seconds now without any BSoD or other previously mentioned symptoms. (see screenshot as proof of uptime).

View attachment 4336

So, can we conclude that VirtualBox and Windows 8 don't like eachother? Or do I need to run longer?

EDIT:
while I was posting this post I was getting one of the symptoms, I guess I'll keep her running until she BSoD's again.
In event viewer I get: The IO operation at logical block address 6009d0 for Disk 1 was retried. (twice) Disk1 was just scanned with chkdsk /r a few hours ago and came back clean.

Excellent. Thank you for the update.

My conclusion is that it seems highly likely that issues are solved. And yes, longer is always better but seems extremely promising so far with your report.

Thanks!

So, currently my 1564 is at 2 days and 10 minutes of up time. Seems to me the issue is solved and that VirtualBox was the cause.
I still got "The IO operation at logical block address 6009d0 for Disk 1 was retried." twice in the event viewer in these 2 days. Other than that the event log is clean of errors & warnings. As usual a screenshot is attached. :geek:

I'm gonna power her down now to put in the original secondary HDD which had also had a 2.5 day testrun in another pc. Here no errors/warnings were created in event viewer while it was being hammered by VirtualBox pretty much the whole time. (On a windows 7 pro x64 PC) This HDD luckily seems fine.

Now I'll need to hunt down a good VirtualBox replacement!

Thanks for the heads up, I'll install VirtualBox ASAP and report back on how it does. I think they're referencing to the guest windows 8 in their logs though, and not the host OS.

lol if you really did install VirtualBox again, even the new version you corrected my thinkings on, it's likely that. But lets have a look at the minidump! sure :)

Yep I did install VirtualBox 4.1.10.76795 again to see if that fixed it, didn't help. Here's the minidump.

Yep same bugcheck 133 that removing VirtualBox previously fixed:

Code:
[Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.

BugCheck 133, {0, 281, 280, 0}

Oracle will probably have this straightened out in a few weeks is my guess. Maybe earlier.

Just to let everyone know, I have also verified the AVG Anti-Virus & Internet Security Suite 2012 also cause this error. This was tested on three different machines with Windows 8 CP installed. As soon as these software packages were removed, the errors ceased.

Not surprising. AVG is very notorious when it comes to bug checks.
