Hi @minakshi23up

 

Welcome to the HP Forums!

 

Thank you for posting your query in this forum, it's a great place to find answers.

 

I reviewed your post and I understand that you are getting a watchdog violation error on your computer.

 

I’d love to help!

 

In windows 8, Microsoft has introduced a bug checker called a watchdog so basically when it detects a procedure running too long it gives an error. Usually, this error occurs when you do not have the updated drivers for the hardware devices on the computer.

 

I recommend you to install HP support assistant from the below link and install it and it will automatically detect and install all the latest drivers for your computer.
