BSOD Win 10 x32 DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

Pablo · Dec 6, 2016

Hello guys, I need your help to figure out the cause of this issue:

From time to time when I'm playing Command & Conquer ZH ROTR (yup I like old strategy games) i get this BSOD...

View attachment minidump.rar

Couldn't know if the game is the culprit because it's the only game I play in my very little spare time.

Using Nirsoft's "blue screen view" saw Nvidia storage driver listed on the stack, tried installing a different version but the problem persists.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, Pablo.

Hi,

you get an
DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (133)

the failing driver is indeed nvstor32 (Chipset nVidia 520) and incompatible, even Win notices this:

Update Status = REG_SZ Newer Patch Not Available"

add new hardware (existing?) by devicemanager, SATA, Microsoft Driver (MSAHCI / Iastor)

your system should run without problems
nvstor32 is not able to understand & handle certain requests and fails.
