DPC Watchdog violation while gaming BOSD

Question

I keep getting DPC watchdog violation while gaming. I received a new computer yesterday, and I am trying to play League of legends. I can't run it for more than 5 minutes before getting a BOSD with DPC Watchdog Violation. I have tried updating NVIDIA drivers to the latest version, but that hasn't been enough. I have no idea what I am supposed to do. I hope someone can help; Thank you.

Hi marcus Enevoldsen,

Thanks for your post. DPC Watchdog violation is commonly referring to a driver that's gone wonky and the more common issues people tend to have is the GPU drivers so easiest place to start would be see if there's a new graphics driver update in your Nvidia app if there isn't then get DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) remove your drivers and re-install the newest ones.

Also, please check for any windows updates and install those first that sometimes will fix weird driver issues.

For deeper BSOD issue, please refer the official troubleshooting link:https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/resolving-blue-screen-errors-in-windows-60b01860-58f2-be66-7516-5c45a66ae3c6
