Hello everyone,
For roughly the last day I have been getting at random times a DPC watchdog_violation. It started when I was playing skyrim, I looked up what I could do to fix it. I ran chkdsk, I ran memtest, I updated all drivers that I could think of both manually and with a driver updating software, I unplugged and re plugged my hdd's and graphics cards. I checked the device manager for the win 10 version of the problem found in this thread-http://www.thewindowsclub.com/dpc_watchdog_violation-blue-screen-in-windows-10

but I do not have iastor.sys at the end of my sata controller. I can not remember what else I have done please help if possible. I greatly appreciate the time anyone takes to help. thanks in advance

My specs are:
amd FX4100
Nvidia 970
8gb ram
win 8.1

minidump 1/15/17

Solution
I've been getting the same issue and around the same time (Jan. 10). I'm running a somewhat similar setup to you as well (AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5GHz, Nvidia Geforce GTX 750, 8 GB Ram with Windows 8.1).

I think it has to do with a recent set of windows updates. Possibly one of the following:

KB4011659
KB4056887
KB4056895
KB4011610
KB4011611
KB4055266

I updated my graphics card driver but still have the same issue and haven't been able to fix it.

EDIT
Looking at the forums it seems at least 5 users are having the same issue around the same time. I've rolled back my system to before the Windows update to see if that fixes it. I have to run the computer for awhile before I can say if it helped.
I would uninstall Daemontools. This is a known cause of crashes

This file GEARAspiWDM.sys I think belongs to Itunes. If you use it update it. It's 6 yrs old

This file NBVolUp.sys I think belongs to Nero Backup. It's 7 yrs old. Update it

This file ScpVBus.sys is 5 yrs old - Scarlet.Crush Productions Scp Dual Shock 3 Virtual Bus Drive. Update them




 

thanks for your help I am uninstalling all of them as I have not used the other 3 in a long time
 


will do, thanks again paul for all your help will see how things go for the next few days.

two new Bsod after uninstalling ive posted the new minidump, i also used a Bsod viewer and the first fail came back with hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe
the second fail was dxgmms1.sys and ntoskrnl.exe

thanks for the reply let me know if anything happens, im going to try to go with your method hope it works for both of us
 
So far I've had my computer on for about 5 hours, I let a YouTube video playslist run, played some browser games, and played another installed video game, all things I was doing when I had gotten the BSODs yesterday.

It looks like the Windows update was the issue and using the system restore point before the update seems to have fixed the issue for me.
