Hi, sorry to add to the list of BSOD queries but I'm at my wit's end on this.
Few weeks back I bought a new diy CPU off newegg which I built using pcpartpicker.
Cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 2600x
MB: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
GPU: Sapphire nitro+ Radeon rx 580 8gb
Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16gb (3000mhz)
Power: EVGA SuperNova g3 (650w)
Casing: cougar mx330 with built-in cooling fan
Windows 10 pro trial version (have not bought a cdkey yet)
I finally got around to installing Windows 10 last Sunday. But almost immediately after I installed win10 and logged in, my CPU started freezing.
I checked Event Viewer and it wasn't very helpful; the freeze (and subsequent bsod if I don't immediately reset the PC) was attributed to bugcheck 1001 (0x00000133 - DPC Watchdog violation).
Google search showed a lot of such cases that usually highlighted a driver problem (https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/dpc-watchdog-violation.2809850/ ) so I tried to update my drivers and windows 10 while hoping my CPU would not freeze in the middle of it all. List of what i've tried to do:
So yesterday I downloaded WinDbg and WhoCrashed but as many threads here in the past have experienced, the 2 programs blamed windows nt kernel (WinDbg - ntkrnlmp.exe, WhoCrashed - ntoskrnl.exe) for the BSOD which is obviously just a symptom and not the root case.
A lot of discussions on the internet deduced possible memory corruption so i wiped my sdcard and replaced it with memtest86 which I set to run last night. When i left for work earlier today it had already finished the 1st run and no issues were found.
In short:
Again, apologies for such a long wall of text. been staying up till like 3 am on 2 of the past 3 nights so i'm getting quite tired.
To-do list for updating this thread:

- Update drivers via Driver Easy / Driver Hub / Driver Booster
- manual download and update gpu driver
- manually changed sata devices IDE/ATAPI controller in Device Manager to storachi.sys (Standard Sata ACHI etc)
- run just single channel 16gb ram instead of dual channel
- reinstall Win10 (funnily enough, after updating all the drivers, they actually caused my Win10 re-installation to freeze; it was smooth all the way before updating anything)
- did Driver testing using Verifier (followed the steps at https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101379-driver-verifier-enable-disable.html ) - completely screwed up my cpu and went into boot loop (with a lot of DRIVER VERIFIER DETECTED VIOLATION and CRITICAL PROCESS DIED) - had to reinstall win10 again.

In short:
- BSOD - bugcheck 1001 0x00000133 DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
- Updated all drivers (or did i miss out something?) but did not update BIOS (due to resource limitations)
- WinDbg and WhoCrashed blaming symptoms (ntkrnlmp.exe and ntoskrnl.exe)
- Memtest86 seems to be ok - not memory issue i hope (it's new...)
- Win10 reinstallation didn't work
- Didn't know how to properly use Verifier so I had to wipe my ssd and reinstall win10 from scratch
Again, apologies for such a long wall of text. been staying up till like 3 am on 2 of the past 3 nights so i'm getting quite tired.
To-do list for updating this thread:
- save and upload my minidump for your reference
- the memtest86 remaining runs' results once i get back home tonight.
- Edit: check bios version
