Sto avendo frequenti Blue Screens of Death sul mio nuovo Windows 8 Dell XPS 13 UltraBook. Le specifiche:
Hardware (screenshot di Gestione dispositivi con quelli che penso siano gli elementi più rilevanti espansi):
Software: SO: Windows 8 Applicazioni: browser Web, strumenti di sviluppo (Prolog, Eclipse, ecc.)
Più specificamente, BSOD si verifica quasi sempre ogni tre volte che provo ad accedere al mio computer all'avvio. Mentre digito la mia password o appena ho finito di digitare la mia password, ottengo sempre il BSOD con "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION". A volte, succede anche ogni seconda volta, ma non è mai accaduto in tempi consecutivi in cui eseguo l'accesso. Non ho idea se ciò abbia rilevanza o sia anche un modello valido.
Per diagnosticare il problema, ho scaricato WhoCrashed e mi ha detto questo:

crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\032413-6218-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x7A040)
Bugcheck code: 0x133 (0x0, 0x281, 0x280, 0x0)
Error: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

Bug check description: The DPC watchdog detected a prolonged run time at an IRQL of DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This problem might be caused by a thermal issue.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: usbmac64.sys (NDIS 5.0 driver, --).
Google query: -- DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
Non sono sicuro di come procedere. Ho usato Dell System Detect per verificare se ho tutti i driver aggiornati per la mia macchina e lo faccio.
Apprezzo qualsiasi input al riguardo.
