<figure class="usrProfile"><figcaption class="line infosHold"></figcaption></figure> Hey!
I've set up a new pc rig quite recently and had a very irritating problem with it whenever I play a game.
My computer enters this "slowmotion" phase where it feels like everything is running in less than 1FPS, every sound is goes completely "slowmo" for a few seconds. Then comes up the BSoD with the DPC_Watchdog_Violation error.
At first I thought it could be something with the RAM sticks so I ran memtest86+ for 12 hours at least with 0 errors. Ran hard drive scans.
Even tried checking for driver errors with the Driver Verifier method. I'd also like to mention that I have updated every driver and firmware/bios.
So then I assumed something must be overheating - I pumped my GPU fans to run at max all the time. At first I thought this actually solved the case, but no. I just recently bought Cooler Masters 612s CPU cooler thinking this has to fix this bloody error. Nope.
I've also tried a full format of the OS.
I've posted this issue on several different tech support forums to find some help but nobody so far has had any luck in nailing the issue. I've surfed all over the net to find a solution so I'm truly desperate. I've tried tweaking with the BIOS settings, no luck there either so I reverted everything back to factory default.
Some have find a solution in turning off the onboard audio but I'm not quite sure how to do that and if it'll help. I've connected the headphone jack to the front case audio jack and these crashes only happen when I'm running a game.
