DCP Watchdog Violation BSOD after installing new ram into system

[frooge]

Hi all,

Recently I purchased 2x8gb of 3200mhz ram (tforce vulcan z) to install into my PC as an upgrade from one stick of 8gb 2400mhz ram. I have been having frequent bsods, all with the error code DPC_Watchdog_Violation. I have done all the basic things: chkdsk, sfc scan, memory diagnosis, updated IDE ATA/ATAPI controller drivers, updated network drivers and even gpu drivers. I have tried to hard reset windows but it BSODs when I try to select a network to connect to during the actual setup of the OS. I am stumped. I cannot tell whether this a hardware or software issue and wtf I need to do in order to fix it.

PC specs are as follow:

 

• Ryzen 5 2400g,
• GTX 1660,
• MSI B450m Pro-m2, 
• Sk Hynix 128gb ssd (windows 10 is installed here)
• Western Digital blue 500gb mechanical hdd.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

-Kieran
