Solved ERROR DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (133) - whenever I open an Android emulator

jhonnysss · Apr 2, 2024

Whenever I start any Android emulator, it simply gives a blue screen and shows the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error message either upon opening or during use. I will leave a file for you to review.

Fill in the full system specs so we also know what hardware we are working with here. I'm particular interested in what display you have.

Does the Watchdog BSOD mention any particular dll or sys file?

High Refresh rate display? 144-165Hz and beyond? Also is Variable Refresh Rate enabled in Windows settings and G-Sync enabled in nVidia CPL?

Sorry for the file in another language, I believe these are correct now!

I have 2 monitors and they are both 144hz, G-Sync is enabled

Could you please try to disable G-Sync and also run your emulator on its own, meaning you have all browsers and any other apps closed before testing.

Does this make a difference?

I turned off G-Sync, but it didn't make a difference. I then opened only the emulator, which ran for 40 minutes. However, during that time, the emulator kept freezing several times, causing the mouse cursor to slow down. After the 40 minutes, it still resulted in a blue screen.

jhonnysss · Apr 3, 2024

This is really strange and very specific. I can run heavy games with the browser and Discord open, but I can't use any Android emulator. It's driving me crazy.

SlicEnDicE · Apr 3, 2024

Which Android Emulators are you running?
Is your BIOS the latest?
Is your AMD Chipset driver the latest?

Have you tried different Chipset driver versions?

1 - mumuplayer , bluestacks , ldplayer
2 - yes my bios is updated
3 - yes and nothing has changed

jhonnysss · Apr 3, 2024

I just tested the Nox Player emulator and it gave a blue screen when starting the program. the same happens with LDPlayer

SlicEnDicE · Apr 3, 2024

Do you use Hyper-V for anything?
Have you enabled Windows Hypervisor Platform?

Have you tried launching the emulator after typing the following in elevated Command Prompt and rebooting?

Code:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

Thanks @zbook for checking it out properly.

Uninstall and reinstall the Nvidia GPU drivers using DDU / Nvidia website.

There may be additional BSOD.

For new BSOD post a new V2 share link into the newest post.

After following your suggestion, I conducted a 2.5-hour test with the emulator running alongside other programs like Discord, and for the first time, I did not encounter the blue screen issue. I initially tested it for a shorter duration due to time constraints, but today I ran another 1-hour test with multiple browsers and Discord open, and still no blue screen! I am truly grateful for your assistance and guidance. I am pleased with the progress and will continue running tests. I will provide an update on whether the issue has been resolved.

Note: the monitors are currently set to 60Hz. I opted not to change this setting out of caution. Should I switch back to 144Hz or maintain the current configuration?
