How Do I Stop DPC Watchdog Violation Blue Screen?

Anonymous

I have been receiving pop up messages for the last month of so saying I should download Windows 8.1. Today, I went on my computer to check a couple things and it popped up again so I just decided to finally get it since I could let it download while I slept for a few hours. Now, ever since I got that, I keep on getting the DPC Watchdog Violation Blue Screen every time I get into a game of League of Legends. I haven't had this update long enough to see what else will cause it. This is getting extremely frustrating and I would like to know how to stop this. I have never been a huge fan of Windows 8, unfortunately, and this update so far isn't helping much. =/

P.S. I don't know if this makes a difference, but my computer is the HP Envy M6.

Zipping them in safe mode worked. Here is the link to the folder on sky drive. There are three reports from the crashes, one yesterday and two today.

I don't understand what is going on. It says that i am the owner of the files and that I'm logged on as the admin, yet it still gives me access denied when I try to look at or zip up the files (I had two more crashes today). The link is to a screenshot to show you what the advanced securities screen is saying that I'm the owner of the files.

Last ditch effort regarding permissions, please try the following:

1. Right click on the file or directory that is giving you permission issues.

2. Right click and select 'Properties'.

3. Once inside Properties, select the 'Security' tab.

4. Once inside the Security tab, select the 'Advanced' option at the bottom.

5. Once at the 'Advanced Security Dialog' window, click on the 'Owner' tab.

6. This is where you can see the current owner (Trusted Installer).

7. If you'd like to take ownership of said file or directory, click 'Edit'. UAC will ask you for permission, say yes. Afterwards, highlight the username in the 'Change owner' window that you'd like to assign as the new owner for said file or directory. Click 'OK' to finish.

8. Afterwards, in the 'Advanced Security Settings' window, you now see that the owner has changed to whomever you specified. Click 'OK' to exit this window, and then select 'OK' once more to finish.

9. Follow step 1 through 4 again to open the 'Properties' window for the file or directory once again.

10. Once inside the 'Properties' window once again, click the 'Edit' button and say yes to UAC.

11. Highlight the Administrators in the 'Group or user names' box. If the user ID or group that you want to manage the permissions for said file or directory does not exist, click 'Add' and type in the user name that you'd like to have full control in regards to the file or directory.

12. Once inside the Permissions for Administrators*(or the user name you chose)*, select 'Full Control' under the 'Allow' column. Click 'OK' to finish.

Regards,
