Hello,

For the past few days (especially when I play a game or use a heavy software like Unreal Engine where the error occurs more frequently, but I also encounter it randomly from time to time), my computer freezes and a few seconds later, I get a blue screen with the message "DPC Watchdog Violation"

After several searches, I still haven't found a solution (the answers being a different reason each time)

So far, here is what has been done (I specify that I have a desktop):
- CCleaner
- Malwarebyte
- Windows updates
- Disabled fast startup (both from power options and in the BIOS)
- Updated drivers
- Installed the latest Nvidia drivers
- Checked the RAM sticks (by trying to remove them one by one for testing)

Do you have any ideas for a fix for this error?

Thank you.
Best regards

Configuration: Windows 10 / Chrome 69.0.3497.92

    Hello,

    We can also use WhoCrashed to obtain information about these crashes.
    Download and run WhoCrashed: Download WhoCrashed
    => WhoCrashed Tutorial
    Copy and paste the content here as indicated in the tutorial.

    ~~

    Properly reinstall the graphics card drivers, see: https://www.malekal.com/resoudre-le-pilote-affichage-nvidia-ne-repondait-plus-et-a-ete-recupere/

    If there’s no improvement, try clearing the Nvidia cache and see what happens.
    If still no better, potentially disable TDR: https://www.malekal.com/resoudre-le-pilote-affichage-nvidia-ne-repondait-plus-et-a-ete-recupere/
