Random DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (rdyboost.sys) and DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION on HP 255R G10

Hello everyone,

I have been troubleshooting a random BSOD issue on my HP notebook for about a week and I have already performed many hardware and software diagnostics without finding the root cause.

I would really appreciate if someone could analyze my Minidump and help me identify what is causing these crashes.

System specifications​

• HP 255R 15.6" G10 Notebook PC
• AMD Ryzen 7 7735U with Radeon Graphics
• 16 GB RAM
• Samsung MZVL8512HFLU-00BH1 NVMe SSD (512 GB)
• Windows 11 Home 25H2
• OS Build 26200.8655
• BIOS updated from F.09 to F.11

Symptoms​

The issue started a few days ago.

The crashes are completely random.

Sometimes the notebook works perfectly for many hours, while other times it crashes shortly after startup.

The problems I have experienced include:

• Complete system freezes while playing League of Legends.
• During one freeze, Spotify also stopped responding.
• Sometimes I leave the notebook powered on with the lid open, and when I come back it has powered off by itself.
• Several times Windows automatically started repairing drive C: during boot.
• Occasionally Windows displayed a black screen saying that an error occurred during startup.
• Sometimes the notebook becomes completely unresponsive with only the power LED blinking. In that state I have to hold the power button for about 15 seconds to turn it off.

BSODs observed​

The first BSOD was:

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

Later I received another BSOD:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

The "What failed" field displayed:

rdyboost.sys

After some crashes Windows fails to create new Minidump files.

Event Viewer repeatedly shows:

volmgr - Event ID 161

"Dump file creation failed due to an error during dump creation."

Diagnostics already performed​

Windows​

• SFC /SCANNOW → No integrity violations found.
• DISM /RestoreHealth completed successfully.
• Windows automatically repaired the C: drive.
• <span>fsutil dirty query C:</span> originally reported errors, but after the repair it now reports that the volume contains no errors.

Storage​

PowerShell reports the SSD health as:

Healthy

Memory​

Windows Memory Diagnostic:

PASS

No errors detected.

HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI​

All tests passed successfully:

• Processor Test
• Memory Test
• System Board Test
• SSD Test
• Battery Test
• AC Adapter Test

No Failure ID was reported.

Drivers and updates​

Using HP Support Assistant I updated:

• BIOS
• Realtek Audio
• Realtek Wireless LAN
• Realtek Bluetooth
• Synaptics Touchpad

Additional observation​

When I connect my original Samsung USB-C earphones (with microphone), Device Manager reports:

USB\VID_04E8&PID_A063&MI_04

Code 10

"HID Report Descriptor validation failure."

The warning disappears after disconnecting the earphones.

I do not know whether this is related to the BSODs.

Current configuration​

• Automatic restart after BSOD is disabled.
• Small Memory Dump (256 KB) is enabled.
• Paging file is managed automatically.

Despite this, Windows often fails to generate new Minidumps after crashes.

Files attached​

• Minidump from June 15.
• drivers.csv
• Photos of the BSOD.
• Event Viewer screenshots.

My question​

At this point every hardware diagnostic has passed successfully, so I am wondering whether the problem is more likely related to:

• AMD chipset or power management drivers,
• Storage drivers,
• USB/HID drivers,
• Windows 11 Build 26200.8655,
• or another third-party driver.

Any help analyzing the Minidump or identifying the faulty driver would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time.

You might want to test the memory using Memtest 86. That will eliminate the memory causing the issue. I just had some 2 year old memory go bad, both of the modules failed after about 10 seconds. Luckily it has a lifetime warranty and hope to have new ones returned in about 10 days.
Hope you can find your problem.

During the troubleshoooting please use English as the default language.

Run the V2 log collector and post a share link into the newest post.

Hello,

I have updated my original post and changed it to English, as requested.

I was unable to run the V2 Log Collector because Windows 11 Smart App Control blocked it.

Instead, I ran the DM Log Collector, which completed successfully.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Thank you.
