Hello,

as the title may suggest, i've been experiencing crashes while gaming quite frequently starting a few days ago.
I don't know how to fix this issue, i've gone through windows updates and I've updated all my drivers as far as i'm aware.
The error i get is 0x00000133  DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION.

The minidump file do not indicate any driver or hardware causes, only memory corruption.

Do you have more minidump files?

I have 2 more minidump files that should be related to the same problem.

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.

I tried and tested this since yesterday. Going back to t he previous driver version worked without a problem.

The crashes felt less frequent, but my PC still crashed twice since yesterday.

Here are the new Minidumps if that helps

Minidump 1 & Minidump 2

It still indicates the same cause, try using another driver version.

I have tried multiple older driver versions over the last few days and have been experiencing the same issues with them as well.

The crashes also only started a few days before I asked this question and was fine before, so it seems something else is wrong.

Any other ideas maybe?
