Blue screen with DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

I have been having these blue screen crashes while playing couple of games. The answers for this type of error seem to be mostly through reading the memory dump file and I can't make heads or tails from the file. I have copied them when the crashes happen. I have done memtest86, updated all my drivers through asus's update tool, and tried fthree different graphics card drivers. I also tried reinstalling windows 11 but that didn't have desired effect either. The problem is kind of odd since it started after I did a clean install of windows 11 on a new ssd drive. Since then I have tried windows on another ssd and the same issue persists. Before the reinstall I have had no blue screens of any kind for years and years. Anytime this error happens the windows eventmgr shows volmgr error 162 along with 20 or so volmgr warnings and Kernel-Power 41 error.

Here's the memory.dmp file:

    Try uninstall your Graphic card driver and restart your PC and use the default driver and see if the problem persist?
    Try open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue.

    Nice progress.

    This is a trial and error step:

    Find a flash drive that you can format.

    Create a bootable Sea Tools flash drive:

    https://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/

    Boot to the flash drive > see if it detects any of the drives > post images into this thread

    If Sea Tools cannot identify the drive or run the long generic test then download and install:
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/gsmartcontrol/
    (this is more challenging to use)

    Highlight the applicable drive > in the menu click device > run the extended self test > click view output > post images or share links into this thread > also click the attributes and error log tabs > post images or share links

    For all tests there are:
    True positives
    True negatives
    False positives
    False negatives
    Accuracy

    The HD Tune Health tests were false positives.
    The findings were not seen using HD Sentinel, and Crystal Disk.

    There were 5 BSOD mini dump files collected during the thread by the log collector.

    There were multiple crashes cause by the Glasswire drivers so the software with its drivers were uninstalled.

    There were multiple crashes caused by the Nvidia drivers and they were reinstalled.

    You reported no recurrent BSOD.

    Now you can reinstall Glasswire.

    If there is any concern then post a new V2 and event logs.

    If there are no BSOD or unexpected shutdowns and restarts for an additional 24 hours of use that will complete the troubleshooting.
