Recently I have built a 3D rendering station for a client of mine. The machine runs, but crashes about once or twice a day with a BSOD (watchdog violation 1x133. Blue Screen View mentions either nvlddmkm.sys or ntoskrnl.exe as culprit. Things I have tried so far: Clean install Windows 10 Clean install Windows 7 DDU removal of graphics drivers latest nVidia drivers older nVidia drivers extensive RAM testing Specs: Asus X99-WS 10G E Intel 6850K 7x Zotac 1080ti Blower Edition (transformed to water cooling) 64GB RAM Samsung 960 Pro 512GB (system drive) 3x WD Red in RAID 0 (data drive) 2x Cooler Master V1200 PSU Custom EK watercooling loop Obsidian 900D Speccy Snapshot: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/qchWoHD0m7mueWTEVccxFlD Any help or insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as this issue now causes great delays in my client's workflow.

I've been having this same issue with BSOD watchdog erorr on a x99 ws-e and two GTX 1080s. I'm currently running Windows 1709 with Nvidia driver 397.93. My BIOS is 3201, 6/17/216. I see there is an updated BIOS date 5/2/2018. @mrpinoux we have similar systems, but I'm connected DP + DVI on just one card. So the issue still persists with my set up. Sounds like it's worth trying to update the BIOS?

Version : 1803 OS : 17134.48 Drivers : 397.64 Resolution : PC / 2560 x 1440 / 60Hz

As i'm on hold with NVIDIA right now i came across your post, i've been trying to fix this with different versions of display drivers and will try this when i get home tonight. By the way what display driver are you currently using and which OS and version are you currently on? I wonder why it would crash when connected to each individual card though, that's super weird.(Currently running MSI x299 XPower and 2x 1080Tis).

So, it looks like I finally solved the bosd with the x99 ws-e with my 4 x GTX780 on my end. I was originally using 1 display port cable for each monitor, displaying @4K 60Hz, each cable connected to 1 different card. I've now connected both monitors through HDMI + DP to HDMI, on one card only, displaying @2K 60 hz, and everything is running smooth with the latest NVIDIA driver. Curious to see if this would solve the issue for other people, let me know.

I too am experiencing the watchdog violation crashes. My setup is an ASUS x299 WS Sage motherboard with 2 x 1080ti and an intel 10gb card. The crash happens with 2 gpus installed only when the intel 10g card is installed. When I remove the 10gb card it stops crashing.
