Windows 10 Microsoft Windows Kernel PnP - Event ID 411 Error when trying to manually update SATA ACHI driver and BSOD

[TiagoDGT]

So I randomly started getting the BSOD from time to time when i booted up windows, after 10-20 seconds it restarted and booted again normally.


I decided to manually update the SATA ACHI drivers from device manager to see if that would fix the problem, however, after i tried to do so, it would say that the device could not start.

Here's the error i got from event logs:

I've also tried reinstalling windows, but to no effort as the BSOD started appearing on boot ups again after 3 days.


The BSOD code error is ''DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION'' so it is most likely a faulty driver.
