I'll try to be as detailed as possible in this post.
I've had numerous problems with my new build (listed below), but I think I've solved all of them, excluding this one. At seemingly random times, my computer will lock up for about 30 seconds and then bluescreen, with the error "DPC_Watchdog_Violation".
I purchased a new processor (E1231 V3) and motherboard (MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition) just a few days ago, along with a new copy of Windows 8 (my previous build was not genuine). I installed Windows 8 onto a Samsung 840 SSD that I purchased a few months ago, but hadn't used yet. I had 8 running just long enough to download Windows 10, so I'm not sure if the problem is isolated to 10.
So, my current specs are as follows:
- Intel E 1231 V3 (with stock cooler)
- MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition
- Samsung 840 Evo 120gb
- Seagate 500gb HDD - has all the data from my old computer, including the operating system on it.
- Corsair Vengeance 16gb DDR3 1600mhz
- Evga GTX 660 2gb
- Corsair RM550
Some other miscellaneous stuff:
- 4 port unbranded PCI USB extender (problem occurs with or without it installed).
- NZXT blue lighting kit
- Asus disc drive (idk of the model number)
- 3 fans, all plugged into the motherboard (one case fan is plugged in the CPU2 slot because it wouldn't reach to another outlet)
- Fractal Design Define R4 case
My temps are under control as far as I know. The max temp my CPU reaches under 75% load (playing Cities: Skylines) is about 62c. The max temp my GPU reaches is 80c, with the fan at about 55%.
I've turned off fast boot, and reinstalled basically all drivers that I can find on my machine.
Any help with this would be great. Thanks!
