BSOD (DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION) with Skype, OBS and Starcraft 2

[Maarsch]

So I've been getting freezes lately.
Mostly it resolves into a bluescreen, the DPC Watchdog violation, but sometimes I don't let it just hangs till I get bored and I press the actual hardware power button.

Event viewer record Kernel power 41 error

This happens when I engage in a video call with Skype, am in Starcraft 2 and have OBS studio open (actually broadcasting seems to be irrelevant).
If I cut out any of these three it doesn't seem to happen, although I'm not entire sure about this, but with the 3 it is a very reliable BSOD.
I have used hangouts and zoom for video with discord for audio and I had no problems.
I have also used other programs that utilize stuff a lot, video editing while uploading and playing games. No problem.

This seems to have appeared around the time of the anniversary update, My OS is Win 10.

Obligatory spec post:
i5-3570 (non-K)
Cooler master 212 (not-evo, I think)
Z77 Pro3
MSI Gaming X GTX1060 6GB (This one is also new, but I had some months of worry free recording after switching from MSI to Nvidia drivers)
OCZ Agility 3 SSD
Seagate green 2TB HDD
16 GB RAM (Corsair)

Things I've tried:

• 
  Changed IDE ATA/ATAPI controller to standard SATA AHCI controller (I actually just changed that back to intel 7 series chipset sata ahci controller)
  Disabled quick boot
  Updated GPU drivers
  Memory test
  Chkdsk (both)
  SFC
  Windows 10 disc error check
  Updated most other drivers probably
  Scanned for virusses
  Scanned for malware
  Skype app rather than skype . . . program?
  OBS studio 32 bit
  Uninstalled/re-installed all the programs
  Temperatures (I don't overheat)
  Probably some other things I can't think to name now.

Things it could still be/could still check

• 
  PSU?
  Re-install win10
  Stuff?
  Change of power strip?

Anyone have any ideas?
Am I even right focusing on this software combination? Or mentioning the anniversary edition? Should I ignore the GTX1060, it is newish.

If you didnt press the on/off button Kernel power 41 error can mean a faulty PSU

That stop error can be cpu related. Updating the BIOS may fix it

If it wasnt on AHCI (if it was on IDE), when you installed Windows, dont change it AHCI after you install windows. It'll crash

Upload the small dmp files to onedrive then post the link

I got a PSU tester on the way home.
I might still upload a DMP file (I updated the BIOS as well in previous attempts, just forgot to mention it)
But I think the PSU might just be the issue

It was beeping too

Also, why the F did this happen when I would run Skype, sc2 and OBS when it was fine with pretty much everything else.
What does the 12V do that is impacted by this

 

[Maarsch]

So . . . . the problem persists

Just happened with my workaround of discord for audio and hangouts for video

I guess I'll go back to testing whether just sc2 and obs cause it or whether a video being sent to me (decrypting video?) is required.

Uninstall Asrock Extreme tuner. This file is 6 yrs old AxtuDrv.sys.

Update Intel(R) Smart Connect Technology Device Driver the drivers for it are 5 yrs old

Update or uninstall Manycam, this file mcaudrv_x64.sys is 4 yrs old

Your logitech cam drivers lvrs64.sys are 5 yrs old

• 
  asrock - uninstalled
  smart - uninstalled, disabled in bios
  manycam - uninstalled
  webcam - got latest drivers (which are 4 days older than previously used ones)

Running stability test now. So far OBS has crashed once, but no BSOD yet.
May run again w/o webcam if it fails with current setup.

The C920 is such a mainstay in 1080p webcams, it's still on every recommendation list of webcams, I'd be surprised if this was what was causing it.
But I'm not ruling it out.

 

[Paul NZ]

It may have been recommended, but old drivers can crash windows

Go to the cam in device manager and see if there are any updated drivers.

 

[Maarsch]

Those are the latest drivers
http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/hd-pro-webcam-c920
Software Version: 2.80.853.0a
Post Date: 26-OCT-2012
OS: Windows 8, Windows 10

Maybe generic windows webcam drivers are better or something?

Testing resulted in BSOD
With webcam and without.

 

[Maarsch]

Ended up going in with a sledgehammer.
Format C:\
Re-install Win10
If I'd been any less annoyed I'd prob have reinstalled win 7 instead.

2 hours stable stream, no BSOD.

 

[Paul NZ]

Cool

 

[Maarsch]

Meh . . . inelegant solution.

But necessary apparently
CPU usage of both SC2 and OBS while broadcasting has reduced. I can get through a broadcast with about 20% less CPU usage now.

Still don't know what the issue was though.
Other than gradual cloggage of Windows arteries . . . or something.
