DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (133)
The DPC watchdog detected a prolonged run time at an IRQL of DISPATCH_LEVEL
or above.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, A single DPC or ISR exceeded its time allotment. The offending
component can usually be identified with a stack trace.
Arg2: 0000000000000501, The DPC time count (in ticks).
Arg3: 0000000000000500, The DPC time allotment (in ticks).
Arg4: fffff8021eefb320, cast to nt!DPC_WATCHDOG_GLOBAL_TRIAGE_BLOCK, which contains
additional information regarding this single DPC timeout

Hello Morrison1995, From the details provided in the analysis of the crash dump, it seems you experienced a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (Bugcheck 0x133). This is a common BSOD error associated with Deferred Procedure Call (DPC) routines executing for too long and typically indicates an issue at a high interrupt request level (IRQL). Here's a breakdown of some key details from the analysis: Arguments:

1. Arg1: 0000000000000000 - A single DPC or ISR exceeded its time allotment.
2. Arg2: 0000000000000501 - The DPC time count (in ticks).
3. Arg3: 0000000000000500 - The DPC time allotment (in ticks).
4. Arg4: fffff8021eefb320 - Additional information regarding this single DPC timeout. Key Components:
5. Image Name: dxgmms2.sys - This points to a Microsoft DirectX Graphics MMS system file.
6. Failure Bucket ID: 0x133_DPC_dxgmms2!VidMmRangeCurationDpc - Indicates that the system crashed due to a long-running DPC routine in the DirectX Graphics MMS. STACK_TEXT:
   • Lists function calls and their addresses, with dxgmms2!VidMmRangeCurationDpc appearing, showing the function implicated in the prolonged DPC execution. Potential Causes: Here are potential causes and solutions for DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION related to dxgmms2.sys: 1. Outdated Graphics Drivers: Ensure your graphics drivers are up-to-date as outdated drivers can cause these kinds of issues. You can download the latest drivers from the GPU manufacturer’s website (e.g., NVidia, AMD, Intel). 2. Recent Hardware Changes: If you've recently installed new hardware, ensure that it is properly seated and that you're using the appropriate drivers. Also, check for any firmware updates. 3. Software Conflicts: Applications or background processes involving graphics rendering might cause conflicts. Review recent software installations or updates around the time the crashes started. 4. Corrupted System Files: System files related to DirectX might be corrupted. Running sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in an elevated Command Prompt might help in repairing corrupted files. Possible Actions: Update Graphics Drivers:
   []Open Device Manager (Win+X, then select Device Manager). []Expand Display Adapters. []Right-click your graphics adapter and select Update Driver. []Follow the on-screen instructions or use the manufacturer’s software. Run System File Checker (SFC): []Open Command Prompt as Administrator. []Type sfc /scannow and press Enter. []Allow the scan and repair to complete. Run DISM Tool: []Open Command Prompt as Administrator. []Type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press Enter. []Let the process complete. Check for Windows Updates: []Open Settings (Win+I) and go to Update & Security. []Click Check for updates and install any available updates. Follow-up: After addressing the possible causes, monitor your system to verify if the issue reoccurs. If it does, additional debugging might be needed, and capturing more details such as Event Viewer logs or performing a deeper analysis of memory dumps could help. Feel free to reach out with any further questions or updates! Best regards, [ChatGPT]
