Solved 0x133 - DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (Random occurrences)

This is a relatively new install of Windows 8.1 64-bit.

My system repeatedly hangs, sometimes without a dump, sometimes with. I have three dump files relating to the issue.

The first dump has the driver verifier disabled, and is a 0x133.
The second dump has the driver verifier enabled, using this tutorial:
Driver Verifier-- tracking down a mis-behaving driver. - Microsoft Community
The third dump (I think) happened on boot and was related to Driver Verifier.

Not being an expert on dump analysis, I would be extremely grateful if I could find a fix for this irritating issue!

Hi Zudo & Welcome to the forums ^_^,

I have analysed your dump files and below has been provided an analysis of the same for informative purposes :-

DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION (c9)
The IO manager has caught a misbehaving driver.
Code:
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000006, IRP passed to IoCompleteRequest contains invalid status
Arg2: 0000000000000103, the status
Arg3:[COLOR=#0000FF] ffffcf8110c8edc0, t[/COLOR]he IRP
Arg4: 0000000000000000
So, the IO Manager has caught the bad driver which is causing the problems. Let's check the IRP and see if we can find the culprit -
Code:
1: kd> !irp ffffcf8110c8edc0
Irp is active with 4 stacks 3 is current (= 0xffffcf8110c8ef20)

Seems like we have found it. We see that the data is missing in most of the cases but this driver highlighted in RED caused the IO Manager to flag it as culprit.

Well, the driver highlighted in RED is the NVIDIA System Utility Driver. The driver is extremely old and is most likely not compatible with Windows 8.1. Kindly remove the NVIDIA System Utility and see if the system stabilises or not.


Let me know how it goes ^_^

Strangely enough, my computer just decided to hang and reboot without leaving a dump! I've removed the driver, but I don't know what I should do now.

Well that is strange. Is it happening repeatedly? If you are still facing problems, kindly explain me in some more detail and I would like to see a freshly generated copy of the Diagnostic Utility with your next post.

I've just attached a new copy. I'm running using the "Microsoft Basic Display Driver", as far as I can see.

Interestingly enough, looking at the latest dump myself let me to an interesting conclusion:

It seems I had something left over from installing Ubuntu, which I have now deleted. Strange, right?

Hi Zudo ^_^,

So, are you still experiencing the crashes?

The process name doesn't necessarily gives the clue as to what is causing the problem.
