Question Stop code: DRIVER PNP WATCHDOG

[Liam Nipen]

I was going on a hollyday so i thought the best thing to do was to turn off the pc and take the plug out, i cant remember to turn the switch at the powersupply off (if this might be usefull). When i came back, wich was yesterday, i plugged in my computer, turned it on sat down and waited. but the windows symbol with the rolling dots was not comming to an end i noticed. and usually my pc uses up to 15 secounds to start, i restarted the pc several times, i even tried resetting the BIOS, but did not work. i waited hours at the loading screen, but nothing happened, so i came to a risky conclusion to restore my pc, back to factory settings. i started my pc windows symbol loading screen pops up after waiting a while a blue screen pops up saying:

"Your pc ran into a problem and needs to restart, we'll restart for you.

Contact blablabla

Stop code: DRIVER PNP WATCHDOG"

i did not know what to do so i let it automaticly restart, after waiting 10 mins on the loading screen same thing popped up. so im sitting here today really want t play some games but cant.

I usually get watchdog stop when I overclock my cpu too high or do not up the voltage high enough for the overclock setting. Did you try pulling the motherboard battery out for a few minutes? Also do you have os on any other hd to try and boot up with?

Also you can try to use the windows bootable dvd to fire up the system and then repair/reinstall your windows files.

 

[shknawe]

1. Insert Windows bootable installation DVD and restart your PC afterwards.
2. Press any key to boot from CD or DVD when prompted to continue.
3. Select your language preferences, and click “Next”.
4. Click Repair your computer in the bottom-left.
5. In the “choose an option” screen, Click Troubleshoot > Click Advanced option > Automatic Repair. Then, wait for the Windows Automatic to be complete.

is it doing anything, running or copying?

I think its stuck at the running screan

 

[shknawe]

Then I think your os hard drive is either dead or corrupted. Do you have a hd with os on it that you can switch out to get the computer running?

 

[shknawe]

I would try using the restore choice on the disc see if that works.

yeah its a ssd, the coirsair one, sould i take it out?

i cant go to the restore task, ive tried turning off the computer and on well over 3 times but it wont pop up, and also i have restored the whole computer. but not wiping the os. i pressed the alternative: "if you want to keep the pc" (not the totally whiping option)

 

[Liam Nipen]

and also the cd that you told me to run was windows 8

 

[shknawe]

No I meant using the restore on the repair dvd. Try this first, if doesn't work then remove your os drive and replace with a new one see if it will start up.

any one that has an os system on it.

 

[shknawe]

Make sure you change the new drive as the bootable drive in bios.

 

[Liam Nipen]

any one that has an os system on it.

But how do i get a oc on one of my other disks when i cant enter windows and switch

But how do i get a oc on one of my other disks when i cant enter windows and switch

The pc seems to only read the corsair ssd with the mabye corrupted oc on it, not any of the other disks on the boot options.

 

[shknawe]

I wont read any other drive?

It loads for some secounds, but then goes back to the windows loading screen and after 10+mins it goes back to "Driver Pnp Watchdog" bluescreen. It seems like i have to wipe the whole disks even windows and reinstall the os, but the question is...how do i do that without having access to the alternative bluescreen after hard turning the pc off 3 times. Do i use the BIOS to somehow wipe the disks there or what do i do. Im not that good at BIOS.
