DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION when restarting to apply updates

MERCURY-21_11_2015_212413_28.zip

Hi perdrix,

It seems Dell hasn't tested the system model for Windows 10.
Attachment 49806
The BIOS is also from before Windows 7 and no updates are available, this sometimes could cause problems.

Code:

BIOS Version:              Dell Inc.                 A08, 25/04/2008

I am wondering if this pc is compatible for Windows 10

Even though I doubt it, it is no reason for me to not provide support.
The cause is the AMD graphics drivers, it though looks like a 1time crash according to the logs.
If this is the case that it is a 1time crash, then there is nothing to worry about as Windows takes the appropriate actions to solve the crash.

If you however would like to do something:
Please uninstall everythingof AMD using Display Driver Uninstallerand install new drivers from AMD. Be sure to ONLY install the drivers using custom/advanced options.

It would appear that (unless you know better) that I already have the latest drivers for the FireGL V7600

FirePro_8.911.3.4_VistaWin7_X32X64_140087

Which are for Win7/Vista

Thanks for looking at the dump

In that case I suggest you simply clean reinstall the drivers with DDU

I uninstalled and reset the download drivers switch to default using DDU and Windows auto-detected the card and downloaded a driver level which I hadn't found in Google searches.

Device Manager reports driver level: 8.970.100.9001

Thanks once again for your help.

See how it goes and report back for any update
