DPC watchdog violation BSOD

I constantly have DPC watchdog violations while using my pc no matter what I am doing and sometimes it can take over an hour to get past an automatic repair screen. I’ve tried just about every fix I can find online and have even taken my pc to a technician who found nothing wrong with it. The pc is now slowing down significantly to the point I can barely do anything with it but it isn’t overly old (about a year or two).

What else could I possibly try to resolve this issue?

    The logs displayed a two month installation but files scanned for troubleshooting were cleaned.

    Which software was used to clean Windows Error Reporting (WER) and Event Viewer, etc.?
    Advanced System Care?

    Please do not use this software during the troubleshooting so that the reports can be troubleshooted.

    There was one misbehaving driver identified.

    The BIOS is not up to date.

    The misbehaving driver in the crash on Tuesday March 15, 2022 was caused by:

    rtwlane02.sys
    TP-Link Wireless PCI Express Adapter

    Find a replacement for this driver > uninstall the old driver > install the replacement driver
    Please install drivers from the motherboard or component manufacturer's websites
    Please do not use third party software to replace drivers.

    The BIOS: Version/Date American Megatrends International, LLC. 3.B0, 12/05/2021

    Upgrade the BIOS: 3.B > 3.C

    In the BSOD on Tuesday, Mar 15 the misbehaving driver was rtwlane02.sys

    In the BSOD on Wednesday, Mar 16 the misbehaving drivers were nvlddmkm.sys and rtwlane.sys

    rwwlane02.sys was not reinstalled.

    1) Uninstall the Nvidia GPU, nvlddmkm.sys, using DDU.

    2) Reinstall from the Nvidia website.

    3) Make sure that you check the clean install box and if available install the physx driver.

    https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx

    4) Which source was used to replace the rtwlane driver?

    Look for other driver versions (don't uninstall and reinstall at this time)

    5) Turn off Windows fast startup:

    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-10-a.html

    6) Only uninstall and reinstall the Nvidia GPU drivers, nvlddmkm.sys.

    7) For any BSOD post a new V2.

    Multiple BSOD with different drivers is consistent with malfunctioning hardware.

    See if you can find a friend, neighbor, relative, or local computer store to swap test hardware components: Networking / GPU / Motherboard

    First rule in / rule out problems with networking.

    See if you use a USB network adapter and uninstall rtwlane drivers.
