If this does not help, analyze minidump file. If you feel like not doing analysis, upload minidump file to SkyDrive.

A bugcheck (BSOD) is a mechanism to protect your PC from damage.


You get this new Windows 8 bugcheck:

Bug Check 0x133 DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj154556%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

The DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION bug check has a value of 0x00000133. This bug check indicates that the DPC watchdog executed, either because it detected a single long-running deferred procedure call (DPC), or because the system spent a prolonged time at an interrupt request level (IRQL) of DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.

To see the cause I have to take a look at the dumps with the Debugging Tools for Windows.

Please start the Windows Explorer and go to the folder C:\Windows\Minidump. Next, copy the dmp files to your desktop, zip all dmp into 1 zip file and upload the zip file to your public Skydrive [1] folder and post a link here.

If you can't see dmp files, make sure your Windows is configured correctly [2][3] to generate dumps.

If you want to analyze them your own, check those videos [4][5] and read this KB article [6].
