1411059 2015-11-07 02:42:00 Hi i have managed to run Blue Screen Viewer and found what is causing the blue screen .

It looks to be a driver called watchdogs.sys .

Now if someone could help me out on how to fix this , that would be great .

Please see Screenshot

1411060 2015-11-07 03:21:00 Not enough information given.

Anyways, usually a driver issue which is unrelated to watchdogs.sys. If you can reproduce this bluescreen it can help but I would look at any newly installed hardware or mess around with newer or older graphics drivers. Check the memory too, but more than often it never reveals problems but can't rule it out.

Cheers,

1411061 2015-11-07 03:22:00 Could be videocard or driver related. Try uninstalling / updating the video drivers Speedy Gonzales (78)

1411063 2015-11-07 04:43:00 Hey in my experience i have been getting messages of amd video card crashing and i have seen it happening , i did update driver but it says it is updated and is working fine .
I then went to AMD website and did download the latest update for the graphics card but when i restarted my computer i noticed pc did slow down and graphics card was not working .
So best thing i thought was to unistall it and problem was fixed , my computer was back to normal speed and graphics card work fine .
This is the website i downloaded from
www.amd.com

And I have been to Event Viewer , had to say which one is causing the issue .

I have just installed brand new Ram , which can be causing problem but i still think it is the video card which is causing the issue

So please if anyone could further help me to fix this issue

1411064 2015-11-07 04:56:00 As its been mentioned could be drivers OR Hardware.

Simply uninstalling drivers normally wont get them all out. To COMPLETELY remove use driver-uninstaller (www.guru3d.com). Download Links are down the page under the picture. READ the instructions on that page as well.

When the Computer restarts after removal the graphics will be crap. What you have done previously is uninstall normally ( actually leaving many sections behind) and the original drivers reinstalled. OR the default Windows drivers will have installed.

Once it has restarted, then install the ones you downloaded. If it crashes again then theres a good chance its a Card Problem (hardware) OR you can also try a previous version of the Drivers.

I've found with AMD that catalyst Control Center can cause all sorts of problems, so use the Advanced mode when installing and untickit.

1411065 2015-11-14 06:58:00 Hey Wainuitech i will do what you told me to coming week . I found also another two problem's relating to the graphic card which is funny . If i try to load viber on my pc using amd graphic card it loads fine but if i make it disabled and use Intel Graphics card , viber does not load up . Another problem is if i make amd graphic card disabled it , intel takes over and like you said graphics is crap . Will load that picture soon but if you can let me know if possible what could be the issue then let me know .

Thanks

1411066 2015-11-14 08:43:00 Wouldn't be surprised if sptd.sys is crashing your system. This belongs to daemontools, which is a known cause of crashes

Type sptd.sys 0x119 in Google. You'll see what I mean

1411067 2015-11-14 22:33:00 I would uninstall daemontools or whatever program you use that uses the above file. Then use the stpd.sys removal tool from here (www.duplexsecure.com)

Depending on what OS you're using, if you want to mount something use it's built in option (if it's Win 10)
