Hello,
My PC is currently stuck booting up, where it loads for a long time (~15 to 30 min usually) and then crashes with BSOD error DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (once it gave a DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG). I can get into BIOS, but I am unable to get into WinRE. The PC will not boot in safe mode, as it will get stuck on 'preparing automatic repair' and then BSOD with the above messages.
I understand drivers may be the cause for this issue, but I cannot confirm which driver is causing this. This issue is quite sudden, as my PC worked fine before I left for a vacation, but was like this when I returned. A Windows update may have happened when I last shut my PC down, but I cannot remember for sure. I had installed drivers to use a PS4 controller some weeks before this happened, could those be the culprit?
I would appreciate suggestions on how to solve this problem.
