Hello. After a few weeks of fruitlessly searching through similar threads for a permanent fix to my recurring BSOD problem, I decided I'd have to investigate deeper into my particular problem, hopefully with the help of the nice people here at eightforums.
Ever since the beginning of July I've been experiencing regular freezes on my Asus N750JV, running Windows 8.1 Update 1. Sometimes they would result in a BSOD with the string DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION and code 0x00000133, other times I would have to do a hard restart. While seemingly random at first, as they continued occurring, I noticed a few things about the pattern of the freezes/BSODs. They would occur either:
- when browsing the web using Firefox 31.0 or
- when waking the computer after a prolonged sleep time (2+ hours)
Regarding the latter situation, the crash could take place at any time during the wake up process, in so far as I've had it happen after logging in, on the login screen or even before the monitor had fully woken up. I'm not sure if this a relevant clue, but I'll mention that in 99% of these cases Firefox was running in the active user session.
After reading some other forums, I was given to understand that this could also be an issue with my SSD not behaving as it should during sleep and wake up, which prompted me to install the newest Intel RAID driver. This seemed to solve the problem for about a week, but it has since returned full-force...
I am currently at a complete loss as to how to solve this issue and would greatly appreciate any thoughts on the matter. I've also attached the required information and dump files.
EDIT: Forgot to add that this is a dual boot machine, with both Windows 8.1 and Linux Mint 16 installed on separate SSD partitions. Hopefully the source of the problem is not the Linux partition, as I quite value it for its usefulness in university coursework....
