I think your PC's ram is almost broken. Second your CPU doesn't macth with your RAM or game. Third, your game is the cause your PC ran into BSOD. Just change the ram or uninstall the game. I think this is help you.I'm sorry if you can't fix the problem

The game ran fine before this issue occurred. I had this gaming laptop for almost 2 years and it seemed to have run that game well but suddenly this error comes up. Could it be I have to change something in my hardware?

If you will work with me I will be here to help until the issue is resolved.

watchdog.sys is a Windows component which means something else drove it into Fault.

BugCheck 119 is most often the video driver or the video device or other hardware affecting it such as motherboard, memory, or even heat (not necessarily out of specs).

Remove ALL power then reseat the cards, memory, and cabling (on both ends when possible) - actually remove and replace - do not just attempt to snug.

If needed we may be able to glean more info from the DMP files.

If there are any memory.dmp files created in C:\Windows or xxxxxxxx.dmp files in C:\Windows\minidump then post those so I can analyze them.

We can analyze the minidumps if you make them available from the OneDrive or other file-sharing sites (such as MediaFire). If you have problems uploading the minidumps copy them to the Desktop or the Documents folder and upload them from there.

BTW, since it is a laptop about all you may be able to reseat is the memory and SSD/hard drive. And even those may be soldered in and not user-serviceable.

Be sure to contact the laptop maker's support for diagnostics help and possible RMA. Ask in their forums about any known issues.

Did you update the video driver and use the other steps I recommended?

Were you able to resolve the issue.

Feedback definitely helps me to help others.
