Hi, i started getting DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION , DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. Here's the dump files : http://

I'm getting this error message when i'm playing GTA San Andreas or Age Of Empires 3. And my computer is not even 1 year old. My PC specs:

Intel® Core™ i7-4710MQ 4-Cores; 6MB L3; 2.50GHz > 3.50GHz; 47W; 22nm

8GB (1x8GB) DDR3L 1.35V 1600MHz SODIMM

750GB Western Digital Scorpio Black 9.5mm 7200RPM HDD SATA-3

2GB GDDR5 nVIDIA® GeForce® GTX860M 128-Bit DX11.2

I would go to the motherboards vendor's website and update any sound drivers for your system.
reboot, go into BIOS and reset the BIOS back to defaults so the BIOS will reassign hardware interrupts and DMA channels. then reboot into window and see if you still get problems. if you do, then remove the DAEMON Tools driver and reboot.

if you still get problems, then you need to change the memory dump type to kernel memory dump rather than minidump.
This will make the memory dump save some extra debug info that can be looked at in the debugger.

I would also run memtest86 just to check your memory system for problems. (I think it will be fine)

for some reason you have a very old via audio driver installed.

you might also want to remove this to see if it is the cause of memroy corruption.

I'll try and write here on Tuesday.
 
well, for both of those problems to be debugged you need to provide a kernel memory dump rather than a minidump.
so you would have to change your memory dump type to kernel, this also changed the default name and location of the memory dump.

if no memory dump is produced, you either have a power problem or a problem in the storage subsystem.

one common problem that can cause both bugchecks is certain USB devices most often wireless ethernet usb devices.
if you have one, you might need to update the BIOS, and the USB 2.0 and usb 3.0 device drivers as well as the device driver for the USB device. Normally you would get a memory dump saved unless the memory dump is being stored on a USB device.

you can also try to figure out what device is not responding to low power requests, run cmd.exe as an admin
then run
powercfg.exe /energy

this will make a report that you can look at and maybe see if it reports a problem.
most often it will be in a device driver that was written for windows 7 and just needs to be updated.
Windows 7 had sleep functions turned off by default, windows 8.x turns them on by default so people hit the problems only on windows 8.x
