Philip Wagenaar · Oct 26, 2012

I am also experiencing BSOD on Windows 8 containing the message DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, dump file is attached to this message. Currently I have no idea what is causing these BSOD's. Help is greatly appreciated.

Please provide this information so we can perform a full analysis: https://www.sysnative.com/forums/sh...SOD)-Posting-Instructions-Windows-7-amp-Vista

Are you using an SSD? If so, ensure that the firmware is updated to the latest version.

All are STOP 0x133 and all blame your Intel Storage drivers (which date from 2010). Please update them to the latest Win8 compatible version from here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com

Uninstall Western-Digital software, as versions from 2008 are known to cause BSOD's in Win7 systems.

Please update these older drivers. Links are included to assist in looking up the source of the drivers. If unable to find an update, please remove (un-install) the program responsible for that driver. DO NOT manually delete/rename the driver as it may make the system unbootable! :

vmusb.sys Tue Sep 1 07:52:14 2009 (4A9D0AEE)

vmusb.sys - this driver hasn't been added to the DRT as of this run. Please search Google/Bing for the driver if additional information is needed.

cvusbdrv.sys Thu Oct 29 14:37:38 2009 (4AE9E0F2)
Broadcom Credential Vault USB Driver for Broadcom USH CV USB Driver
http://www.carrona.org/drivers/driver.php?id=cvusbdrv.sys

The rest of the drivers in RED that are listed below are older than Win8 - so they should be updated if they are available. Keep an eye out for these over time as updates to Win8 may render them problematic.

Gotta run, late for work -------

Updating the intel rapid storage technology - iaStor.sys fixed the problem thanks! My Dell Latitude E6520 is up and running again without any crashes anymore!
