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

Any help or insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated, as this issue now causes great delays in my client's workflow.

    Hi maxime,

    Can you give me more info about your set up?

    If you can : 

    • let me know or screenshot/photos of your bios pages
    • info on your cables/connection to monitor, or monitors, to which card (top to bottom)?
    • Ram info (generation/speed/setup)
    • Processor (or speccy result even better!)

    I'm currently with 1709, and my attempt to be with the driver 382.53 failed. So I'm trying to pin-point the differences, despite the cards itself.

    That would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi heavyhouse,

    Is there a way for you to screenshot your bios set up, few pages? I'm curious to see if there is anything regarding the options by default being different with my mother board, with 4G decoding, or other things that may trigger the problem on my end. My motherboard (ASUS X99-E WS) is the previous model compared to yours, so who knows...

    Thanks for your input :)

    Indeed, that's what I meant to test. Thanks for the link!

    Update : 391.05 has the same effect on my setup, crashes with DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, as in 391.01. Reverting back to 382.53.

    Looks like I can't use CUDA 9.0 apps until NVIDIA fixes the drivers.
