The system crashes upon connecting the HDMI ARC soundbar.
Hi Guys,
My setup is this way:
PC linked to two monitors through DP, and TV via HDMI fiber optic.
I've noticed that when I turn on my TV with the HDMI arc soundbar connected, sometimes my PC freezes and triggers DPC WatchDog Violation – I've attached the BSOD dump.
BSOD Dump
PC Specs:
Mobo: MSI PRO-X870-P-WIFI
CPU: Ryzen 7800X3D
GPU: 5080 Palit Gaming Pro
Check for any error codes, warnings, or informational events in Reliability History/Monitor and/or Event Viewer near the time the TV powered on. Examine the electrical connections for any loops. Device A is linked to Device B, which connects to Device C, then to Device D, and finally back to Device A. Create a diagram illustrating all devices and cable connections. If a loop is detected, disconnect one device to break the circuit and see if the issue resolves.
I just realized another issue if the PS5 is connected to the TV and the PS5 is turned off, my whole PC crashed and restarted. Here’s my connection diagram: PC connects 2 DP ports to two monitors and HDMI to LG OLED55C9PVA – from the TV, one HDMI connection in the ARC port goes to the soundbar Sony HT-S100F, and other HDMI ports connect to the PC. I’m also using a surge protector on all devices, so I’m not sure if the problem is with the TV or the ARC cable.
