I keep running into DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION 0x00000133 seemingly at random, some days I use my PC all day just fine and others I Have it crash multiple times due to Watchdog violations

I have tried safe booting and that seems to work but when I do a normal boot there are times where the computer freezes and shows the watch dog violation blue screen and there are other times where the pc just freezes and I have to force shut of the pc. I've checked the health of my hard drives as that was an issue in the past but they all appear to be healthy. From what I've been able to see on my own is that a dump of the crash is created but I don't know how to use that to help me troubleshoot what the culprit behind all the crashes is. If anyone with experience is able to help me I would greatly appreciate it. I will include a link to the created dump file on OneDrive, thank you.

My name is Jonathan Deives. I'm an Independent Advisor and I will be happy to help you today.

The minidump files indicates that the cause of the BSOD is "nvlddmkm.sys" which is an NVIDIA driver.

Are you using an app like NVIDIA Broadcaster? If so, please uninstall and test to see if the problem occurs.

Also uninstall the current graphics card driver using DDU tool, go to the nvidia website and search for the driver before the last one released, download and install it.

    Thank you, I didn't have NVIDIA broadcast but I did have GeForce experience that had a broadcast option, I removed it and all the NVIDIA drivers, then I did a fresh install of the latest NVIDIA drivers for my card and It hasn't crashed since.
