Hello fellow members of Computerforums.org I have a customer who bought a computer system running Windows XP last year on craiglist.
The customer is trying to install Windows 8 on his desktop machine which is currently running Windows XP. I don't know the system specs of the machine because he just called me about it. The customer is saying it's stuck at the splash screen and will not load into the desktop.
-----> He is getting an error message DPC or Watch Dog Violation <--- I googled it and got my answer. Also, how do you get around it? I personally, think the systems hardware might be to old to run Windows 8. All the drivers would have to be updated, but I won't know this until tomorrow? All help is greatly appreciated.
