System Random Rebooting | DMP File - analysis?

Kuroo · May 25, 2026

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for help analyzing a Windows crash dump and figuring out what may be causing my system to blue screen/reboot.

The crash happened while I was in VRChat using SteamVR. I think the issue may be connected to VR, SteamVR, my headset/USB devices, GPU driver, audio driver, or possibly something else being stressed while VRChat is running.

Here is the Event Viewer message:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000133 (0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000001e00, 0xfffff807c9dc53c8, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\052426-23078-01.dmp Report Id: 809e916c-4b47-4bf8-8755-fefc0c71db0d 
From what I understand, 0x00000133 is DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, which may point to a driver or hardware-related issue. Since it happened during VRChat/SteamVR, I’m wondering if it could be related to my GPU driver, USB controller/headset connection, audio driver, network driver, or SteamVR devices.

Could someone help me analyze the minidump and identify what driver/module is likely causing it?

I can provide the zipped minidump file if allowed. I’m mainly looking for help with things like:

MODULE_NAME IMAGE_NAME FAILURE_BUCKET_ID PROCESS_NAME STACK_TEXT 
System information:

Windows version: CPU: GPU: Motherboard / laptop model: RAM: Storage / SSD: VR headset: GPU driver version: SteamVR version: VRChat version: Any overlays/tools running: Discord, Steam Overlay, NVIDIA/AMD overlay, OVR Toolkit, fpsVR, etc. 
What was happening when it crashed:

I was using VRChat through SteamVR. The system blue-screened/rebooted instead of only VRChat crashing. I believe it happened while VR was active and the system was under load. 
Things I am planning to check or try:

Clean reinstall GPU driver Reset SteamVR USB devices Try different USB ports Disable overlays Verify VRChat and SteamVR files Check CPU/GPU temperatures Check if it crashes in VRChat desktop mode without SteamVR 
Any help reading the dump file and figuring out the likely cause would be appreciated. Thank you.

Your dump was caused by the nvidia driver.
Looks like you have a 3070 which is the most stable with the 566.36 drivers.

How do you check which driver is the best one then the lastest one?

Are you using Nvidia or AMD as your profile says Radeon RX 480?
