PDC_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT

Bug check PDC_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT identifies a Power Dependency Coordinator client that failed to complete its power transition within the watchdog interval. Parameter 1 gives the client ID and parameter 2 identifies the kind of client that is hung.

Interpret parameter 2 before blaming the final power request: 0x1 is a notification client, 0x2 a resiliency client, 0x3 an activator holding a reference too long, and 0x100 a Win32k monitor-on request. Parameters 3 and 4 then point to the client or triage data for that branch.

PDC_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT Parameters

Parameter Description
1 Client ID of the hung component.
2

Client type of the hung component.

0x1 : A notification client failed to respond.

Parameter 3: Pointer to the notification client (PDC_NOTIFICATION_CLIENT). Parameter 4: Pointer to a pdc!PDC_14F_TRIAGE structure.

0x2 : A resiliency client failed to respond.

Parameter 3: Pointer to the resiliency client (PDC_RESILIENCY_CLIENT). Parameter 4: Pointer to a pdc!PDC_14F_TRIAGE structure.

0x3 : An activator client held a reference for too long.

Parameter 3: Pointer to the activation client (pdc!_PDC_ACTIVATOR_CLIENT). Parameter 4: Pointer to a pdc!PDC_14F_TRIAGE structure.

0x100 : Win32k did not complete a monitor-on request in a timely manner.

Parameter 3: The most recent POWER_MONITOR_REQUEST_REASON value for this request. Parameter 4: A value indicating the internal path taken to initiate the request.
3 See parameter 2
4 See parameter 2

Resolution

Use the client type, client pointer or monitor-request reason, and the blocked stack to find the component that failed to acknowledge the transition. Validate the fix by repeating the same sleep, resume, display-on, or resiliency path without exceeding the watchdog interval.
