How do I fix a Windows Stopcode/Watchdog violation BSOD error?
Every so often my Asus laptop, windows 10 OS gets a blue screen of death. I believe the error message is Windows Stopcode, Watchdog violation. This is accompanied by a loud, annoying sound and the computer then collects some information and reboots.
I Googled it, and updated one of my drivers, supposed to be causing the problem. However, it was some time ago, so I don't remember which driver. The problem occurred again today, however, and I really would like to fix it. I don't have an SSD drive, which is sometimes implicated.
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I replaced the drivers as you suggested. Windows says it could be caused by an update.The mini-dump files start shortly after an update.
How an you tell from the .dmp file that it's the Realtek drivers?
It hasn't happend(the crash) since, but I'll know more in a day or so to see if it happens again.
I have an Asus F555LA-AB31 15.6-Inch Laptop (2.1 GHz Core i3-5010U Processor,4 GB RAM,500 GB Hard Drive, Windows 10), Black, in case that helps. On Google search, I see people have been tearing their hair out with this problem.

Nobus, the latest .dmp file is posted above. Do you want the oldest,by date, .dmp file that I have?
How can you tell from the .dmp file that it's the Realtek drivers?
RTWlane.sys is a Realtek network driver.
sorry sheana, must have overlooked it; i agree it points to the driver, as Ramin says
did you update the driver(s)? i would update them all, starting with chipset, then video...
