So I Custom built my PC, and everything works fine. But like the title says, whenever i use a windows installer, my PC just started freezing and Crashing Randomly for about 10-20 minutes then it doesn't happen again until I use another installer.. Anyone know why?

Specs:
I3-4130
8GB RAM
GTX660
WesternDigital 1TB drive (i think..)

Is this the only condition (installer) that triggers the failure?

What anti-virus and anti-malware apps are you using? Have you scanned your system completely with each?

Yea, just very rarely it would randomly happen.
I have Webroot Secure Anywhere. Ill do a scan right now.

Ok so I did the scan, And it didnt find anything.

Ok figured it out.. Installers don't cause it, Its when I restart my computer.. When it boots, it does that repeastedly for 5-20 minutes.

So the system freezes and possibly crashes during that 5-20 minutes and then is okay afterward (assuming no crash)?

So what happens is this; I restart the computer and it boots fine.. But then, it either freezes and after it freezes crashes (With the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION Thing). And then it doesnt do that after at the minimum that happening twice.

The error seems to be driver related.

I would recommend getting and installing the latest Nvidia drivers for sure. If installed, get a new download and re-install them.



Im using W8.1, and ill try doing the nvidia driver update..

What make/model of motherboard are you using? Is its BIOS up to date?

What make/model of power supply are you using?

Also, have you tested your memory (with a tool like memtest, see below)?

Are you attempting to overclock anything (CPU, GPU, memory)?
