#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : STOP 0x00000133 -- DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION Fix : Find the offending driver in the dump Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-stop-0x133 Run as : Elevated PowerShell + WinDbg Expect : 30 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX No obvious storage candidate, or the firmware update did not help. HOW TO UNDO IT Reinstall the driver you removed if it turns out to be needed. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.

You are responsible for reading this script before running it, for satisfying yourself that it suits the machine in front of you, and for having a working backup first.
