alright i have jumped the gun, turns out the bsod still happens. might reinstall OS and see if it helps.

thanks for the response xaltar. ya while i can deal with not being able to game for a period of time, i still would like to know what's going on with my system.
it would seem GPU is not the cause. i gotta test some more.]]> Thu, 18 Jul 2019 17:53:04 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11871&PID=64997&title=dpc-watchdog-violation-with-zen-2#64997 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11871&PID=64981&title=dpc-watchdog-violation-with-zen-2#64981 Author: Xaltar

Generally, with AMD and early adoption it's a pretty safe bet that issues stem from early AGESA revisions. This is particularly true when issues are present across a broad range of manufacturers. I long ago chose to see these issues as an adventure on the way to stability and killer price/performance value. Early adoption with Ryzen has never been for the feint of heart.

Maybe we should start a club

My advice; if you have upgraded to the 3000 series and still have your second or fist gen Ryzen CPU on hand, use the old CPU for a while and keep checking your board's product page for BIOS updates. Update and try the 3000 series chip again as and when new updates become available but be sure to check the forums here for any reported issues first, some updates early on can break more than they fix. If stability isn't crucial and you are up for the challenge of dealing with teething problems and bugs then by all means, stick with the new CPUs but bare in mind, you will have issues and many headaches on the way to a stable system. I find this experience an enjoyable one but I have multiple systems to use so I am not in a position where my main rig is out of commission for days or weeks on end.

i have an update. after swapping to a rx480, it seems the dpc_watchdog_violation bsod has gone. i could game for 2 hours straight.
.
the WHEA warnings remain, i'm guessing it's a BIOS/OS issue]]> Thu, 18 Jul 2019 13:55:25 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11871&PID=64979&title=dpc-watchdog-violation-with-zen-2#64979 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11871&PID=64727&title=dpc-watchdog-violation-with-zen-2#64727 Author: Max9R

This issue affects the X470 Taichi as well. In my case I'm using a Radeon 5700XT and RX 580 so it's not an Nvidia issue either. I'm coming to the conclusion this is more RAM compatibility with Zen 2 and board AIB's needing to get their crap together with it. I'm running G.Skill Trident Z 3200C14D and a 3000C15D kit. Both won't run at their spec'ed speeds without constant Watchdog BSOD, if I run at BIOS defaults it's a tiny bit better but still crashes. Throw in my Ryzen 2 chips and it's fine. This is on the X470 Taichi and an MSI B450 Tomahawk.]]> Sun, 14 Jul 2019 15:24:27 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11871&PID=64727&title=dpc-watchdog-violation-with-zen-2#64727 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11871&PID=64720&title=dpc-watchdog-violation-with-zen-2#64720 Author: palanoid

thanks for the suggestion. the ram is already at its default jedec speed which is 2666c19. there isn't an xmp programmed into it]]> Sun, 14 Jul 2019 10:15:48 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11871&PID=64720&title=dpc-watchdog-violation-with-zen-2#64720 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11871&PID=64713&title=dpc-watchdog-violation-with-zen-2#64713 Author: KungFuSpaghetti

I could prevent my DPC_watchdog_violation on a Fatal1ty X370 Gaming X with gskill F4-3200C14D-16GFX (3200mhz) only if I set memory clock speed to 3066 MHz or lower with 1.35v. Maybe that helps.

thanks for the suggestion. unfortunately when the ram was left at stock speed, it still gave me the bsod.]]> Sun, 14 Jul 2019 01:00:37 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11871&PID=64703&title=dpc-watchdog-violation-with-zen-2#64703 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11871&PID=64690&title=dpc-watchdog-violation-with-zen-2#64690 Author: Sirko
