So, i got a brand new Samsung 870 EVQ 1b for my pc which now is combined with my SN750 500gb.
However ever since i plugged it into my pc i've always been having blue screens with the error code being
"DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION". I tried to google the issue but i'm not really an expert or somewhat good at this so i have no idea how to fix it.
It crashes at least once a day. I have no idea if the ssd is incorrectly configured.

CPU: i5-10400F
GPU: RTX 2060 FE
16GB RAM 3200MHz clocked at 2666

Hi,
Funny watchdog violation is usually low power to the cpu :/

I'd check all power connections to the board/ psu/ gpu by disconnecting and reconnecting.

On another note 870 evo are mostly defective been lots of bad ones reported.

You are thinking of Clock_Watchdog_Timeout which is a different watchdog

As for OP, DPC_Watchdog seems to be mostly related to driver issues.
I believe Samsung has Samsung Magician to manage drivers and firmware for its ssd. Have you tried installing that?

You shouldn't require magician for stability, only drive monitoring and firmware updates. To me its sounding like the SSD is at fault and should be Replaced

If the problem disappears, then just get rid of the Samsung drive. Either RMA it or ask for your money and buy another brand SSD.

Get Magician and check if there are issues with the SSD's configuration, however things might not end there. This issue sounds a bit too vogue as some settings from BIOS to other things might have caused it.

An SSD is always plug-and-play, no specific action or BIOS settings to be changed are needed. It must work automatically. If it doesn't, there is a hardware failure somewhere.

870 evo is sata right? Is your fsb higher than 100mhz?

Incorrect, messy bus / link speeds for example can screw up an SSD. Having correct drivers / right block size can also help. Don't assume the SSD has failed when the OP claimed they don't know what they're doing.

Everything on the OP's PC seems to be running the BIOS defaults. So, no, you are incorrect.

That still doesn't tell you that the SSD is definitely to blame, though.

I mean really, how can you be %100 sure the SSD is faulty when the OP has literally said he doesn't know what he's doing, at all?

There might be something wrong in this setup, and I really don't get why it's so hard to download Magician and simply display the status of the drive, either. In fact, I'm putting up the link to it just to make it more simple...

It's true that these SSDs weren't great to begin with, but there shouldn't be anything hard about doing basic troubleshooting before an instant RMA.

Yeah i am 99% sure it is my 870 ssd but i really wish to find a way where it will actually be compatible with my system

I have not tried it yet but i will and let you know how it goes.

Removing the old drive may be very simple and all but the thing is i still paid 100 bucks for it and i cba go and buy a new one. It gave me a blue screen the day after i got it and has been ever since.

There is also no way to return the SSD as i lost the recipe

Let's look... you can't be bothered to do research before purchases, you can't be bothered to download Magician when the link is directly given to you, and I'm sure the list goes on. I don't know what to say at this point. Care to bother?

As said above, you can't, there's not really anything you can do to make it work. It isn't like you're using a PC from 20 years ago.

If it is broken (confirm this with magician!), which is likely, it'll need to be replaced. Most stores have online records now, so perhaps you could ask for another receipt, or they may even be aware of how many 870 evos are faulty and let you rma it anyway.

As i've stated above, I dont know a lot about PC's so how was i supposed to know that Samsung(who obviously is a well known brand) had faulty SSD's? My friends 870 Qvo works perfectly fine and what "list" are you talking about? Only thing that ive been told to do is research it via microsoft and use magician which I have done.

The magician is telling me that the drive is in good health. The SSD is fully usuable but the problem that i'm having is blue screens.

870 QVO is known to be a lackluster drive. An extremely simple Google search would have directly led you to the TPU review showing its downgrades. My friend has it and it works is not a good enough acceptance, you're clearly not doing your research and buying stuff because it's Samsung. But anyway, run a disk check on it. Check the SMART values also.

I'm sorry but i expect an SSD that i buy to work?? I shouldn't have to do any research whatsoever and even if I would've done this research you're telling me to do before i bought the SSD, it wouldn't matter because literally the reviews online are positive about it. Very frustrating how you call me careless when you're telling me to do stuff I don't have to do or would've been useless anyway.

+ The only review putting this SSD down was some very few amazon reviews that have nothing to do with the issue that I'm having. Even this TPU review you are talking about was hard to find with your simple google search.

Clear cmos, load defaults, otherwise get to a shop

The reason I got into computers being an enthusiast is because I read books in the late 90s early 2000s, aka research.


Buying parts blindly is like being a pioneer of technology, you get arrows in your back.

It's a reason why I avoid certain Brands of Motherboard/GPU/Ram/Drives/Fans/Thermal Compound, is I do research.

Its just like car parts, ever notice there are different price brackets? The cheapest is to just get the car sold.

Either go buy a different drive or go to a shop. Obviously you haven't a clue on what you are doing.

Samsung does the same on phones too, their Flagship Phone and SSD Galaxy S, Pro series, have top of line components while their A/Evo are garbage in quality.

Rather have Good quality across all lines than being the fastest.

Samsung does the same on phones too, their Flagship Phone and SSD Galaxy S, Pro series, have top of line components while their A/Evo are garbage in quality.

Rather have Good quality across all lines than being the fastest.
Yeah I completely get what you're saying but the thing is, when I search for samsung 870 qvo reviews on google I'm literally just met with good reviews and people telling me how it's good, even when i search for the negative kind of reviews i still find myself among the good ones and no bad review really mentions the problem that I'm having, and to add on, reviews on youtube are mainly just positive ones too, there isn't really a negative one. The 870 QVO Is also one of the most expensive SSD's in Samsungs SATA SSD lineup . Thank you for your reply, will try to clear the cmos.

You're looking at the wrong places, those gamer site reviews and Amazon reviews mean little to nothing, to be honest. Besides, price doesn't equal to decency. Samsung is known to overprice large time.
