DPC Watchdog Violation Windows 8 [SOLVED]

I was hoping that test wold at least tell us which driver it is but this one should

Driver verifier

Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is.

I started Verivier and my PC always crashed during windows booting with error dtsoftbus01.sys

I booted in Safe Mode and turned off the verivier.

Also i have noticed that nvidia hardly throttle the nvidia GPU after 70 or 75 degrees. I used nvidiainspector to put GPU frequency to stable frequency, no overclocking just it's working(stock)  frequency. And i had no crashes duering gaming(like 1 hour) and in games where i had near 20 FPS i had near 40-50 even 60 with same graphic settings. And max GPU temperature was 83 degrees, middle near 77 degrees. (77 degrees i had as maximum before with throttling in games and in furmark test). That was surprise for me. Also that crashes in games i had, were sometimes after Alt-Tabing to desktop. Maybe the problem is in NVIDIA which lowering it's frequency and this crash games or when it switching between internal GPU and NVIDIA.

Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is.

*But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver.

*Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

*I'd suggest that you first backup your data and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise.

*Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

*In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .

Here is the procedure:

• Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
• Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
• Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
• Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
• Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"

*Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"

• Select "Finish" on the next page.

*Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen.

*Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation.

*If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.

*If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.

• If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
• In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"

Click "Go" to start the test

• Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first)
• Click "Quit" to exit

It was stable within all testing time, max GPU Temp was 77 degrees.

FurMark Setup:

• If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
• In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"

Click "Go" to start the test

• Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first)
• Click "Quit" to exit
