When I play roblox (and only roblox) my pc might crash into a bsod with the error dpc_watchdog_violation. It has been happening for almost a year not and honestly it’s getting very annoying. If anyone knows about this error help would be appreciated

Try disabling HID and GPU drivers until the problem is fixed. Then you’ll know what’s causing it.

Also have this issue for a while.
I use an AMD Ryzen CPU along with a GeForce RTX GPU.
some info I managed to collect:

  1. The cause of error is memory failure. As far as I know, it happens when an event(RemoteEvent?) happens in game. I personally think it is mostly caused by RAM on Roblox’s behalf, even though I do not know how. (need to investigate more)
  2. rbxfpsunlocker is not the cause of BSODs.
  3. Any installed drivers(mostly peripheral) might be the cause of BSODs.
  4. On my side BSOD Debuggers blame such system files as: ntoskrnl.exe, ntkrnlmp.exe.
  5. Occurs on Windows 10 and 11.
  6. It is possible that faulty VRAM might be the cause of BSODs.

Update: After a research it was discovered that rbxfpsunlocker in fact IS the reason of BSODs. Please refrain from using rbxfpsunlocker if you want to avoid BSODs. If you still get issues even without using rbxfpsunlocker, then you are having other issues not related to Roblox.

Can you capture a image of your issues? In order to see if the error message that pops out is from window or Roblox itself.

Trust me, I was getting the same error and I tried every, single, thing possible. And what I found out was memory problem. I accidentally touched the RAM without grounding myself while installing it. Changed the RAM and it got fixed. If you haven’t made any changes on you RAM, you can try other things like my friends said at my top.

Roblox runs at application level and can’t create BSODs by itself. It is one of your system compontents, generally RAM with this error, or a bad overclock/undervolt.

Turned out to be nvidia broadcast, it causes DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION if you play roblox with it installed.
