I just got my laptop this past week as part of batch 2. All of the BSODs have been for DPC_Watchdog_Violation. Running latest Windows 11 with the FW AMD driver kit installed. The system freezes in place for a good 15-30 seconds before it actually goes and blue screens. I’ll have to admit, I am new to these windows debug tools, but that fact that they all seem to point to different sources leads me to believe it is a hardware issue that is causing the issues. I have a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB, and Crucial 2x 16GB 5600MT/s CT2K16G56C46S5, in addition to the Ryzen 5 board, and 2 USB C modules occupying the rear ports, and 2 USB A module occupying the front ports. Nothing has been plugged into the system for 2/4 crashes, with only power being plugged in for the other 2. I do have a dbrand Damascus skin applied to the lid of the laptop.
According to my debug logs, these are the modules where the issues stemmed from:
#1: ntkrnlmp.exe #2: amdgpio2.sys, 5 minutes after crash #1
3 days later:
#3: System froze up so bad, that after 5 minutes it still did not get to the blue screen, so there is no debug log. #4: dxgmms2.sys, 10 minutes after crash #3
Anyone have any ideas, or similar experiences?
I mean… yes, but also, if it is in fact a hardware issue, Linux won’t necessarily fix that. Also, I’d rather just fix the underlying issue than give up and say windows is the problem, since it’s been my daily driver for years with little issue.
