I have been having constant BSOD when playing intensive video games or just randomly. I replaced my RAM about a month ago and for about 6-8 months before that I would have random BSOD's like irql_not_less_or_equal or FAULTY HARDWARE CORRUPTED PAGE which was more common. After replacing the RAM, and also doing a fresh install of windows 10 pro as well, I stopped getting these errors for a little bit until I started getting BSOD's again but this time I have only had DPC Watchdog Violation.


I used WhoCrashed to figure out what was causing the crash and it said the following:

On Wed 11/11/2020 6:26:37 PM your computer crashed or a problem was reported
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP
This was probably caused by the following module:
[COLOR=111111]ksusba64.sys[/COLOR] (ksusba64+0x5c4b5)
Bugcheck code: 0x133 (0x0, 0x501, 0x500, 0xFFFFF8030E0FB320)

Bug check description: The DPC watchdog detected a prolonged run time at an IRQL of DISPATCH_LEVEL or above. This could be caused by either a non-responding driver or non-responding hardware. This bug check can also occur because of overheated CPUs (thermal issue).
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: ksusba64.sys (WDM USB Audio Driver, Creative Technology Ltd.).

This pointed the issue to my external soundcard (SoundBlaster G6) and I ended up uninstalling all software and drivers for that and have stopped using it. For about 2-3 weeks I had no issues until recently I had another crash with DPC Watchdog Violation again and this is what it said:

The latest ones point to nvidia drivers and I have uninstalled and used DDU to fully uninstall all software and drivers, and then I redownloaded the latest driver for my GPU and reinstalled. I am typing this up right now after this latest crash.


I have also saved my minidump folder and MEMORY.DMP file if that is something that is required to figure out why I am having these issues.


Any help would be much appreciated!



Update (11/28/20 11:39PM): I ran sfc /scannow in my terminal (powershell) and it said it found some corrupted files and that it fixed them.

Also, I have noticed that when viewing the Event Viewer system logs, I always have two errors upon startup saying: "The server {FD06603A-2BDF-4BB1-B7DF-5DC68F353601} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."
