Hello everyone,
We build a PC this Monday and today I had it run Witcher 3 in order to see if it behaves normally when running a game.
And after about 3 hours, I got a BSOD while tabbing out of Witcher 3 after an unusual amount of time passed loading a cutscene. I got a "dpc watchdog violation" code and after loading the .dmp it gives me the following:
hal.dll+17a9
ntoskrnl.exe+2651d5
I did some generic troubleshooting as dictated by Google:
-No unrecognized device in device manager
-Checked if SATA/AHCI drivers are up to date (they are)
Specs:
OS: Windows 10 Pro 17763
CPU: i9-9900k (stock)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Master Z390
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 2x8Gb @ 3200 Mhz (XMP on)
Boot Drive: Samsung Pro 970 512GB (M.2)
GPU: Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 2080 Ti (oc'd:
->Clock: 1750~2000 Mhz (using msi afterburner OC-Scanner's curve, about +150 in average)
->Memory ~7300 (+300)
->Power Limit 122 % (max), when I ran Witcher3 without a frame cap (for about 20 minutes), GPU-Z would measure up to 370 Watts.
->Custom Fan Curve: At this speed it was at about 65~70 %
I was regularly checking hardwaremonitor because, as stated above, I wanted to see how the system was performing: the GPU was under about 75~82 % of load and did not reach 80°C. The FPS was capped to 90 using RivaTuner. Temps and load on other components were decent.
Other devices:
Toshiba EXT HDD 1 TB
MoBo's WLAN antenna
I ran several benchmarks and load applications to see how the PC performs under stress. It only crashed one time when I played around with the BIOS's CPU OC Settings and ran CineBench. BIOS reverted anything I changed back and I didn't touch it since.
Is there any way to at least narrow it down? I have a hunch it's because of the OC and I will try turning it off and check what happens.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks in advance.
