DPC Watchdog Violation - Microsoft Surface 2 PRO

Q

Experiencing the DPC Watchdog violation error on a new surface 2 pro running windows 8.1. I've looked in eventvwr but am only able to see the unexpected reboot event. I tried to find firmware updates for the built in SSD drive but was unable to located them. I installed the most recent UEFI firmware patch but still get the error. It's intermittent and happens while using the machine or even when away from the computer. PLease let me know what log and dmp files are needed to assist with troubleshooting.

We do need the actual DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible. We prefer at least 2 DMP files to spot trends and confirm the cause. Please follow our instructions for finding and uploading the files we need to help you fix your computer.
