My pc keeps crashing with blue screen, message DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

Hey, whenever i install NVIDIA game ready driver above the 572.16 version my pc keeps giving me blue screen with the message DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION and it kinda sucks because i need to have the latest driver downloaded to play some games, i was wondering if anyone could help me identify which driver is causing this and help me out? Here's the link to the minidump files that my pc has created whenever i ran into this crash: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10E8aaypem1rRdRAkn1IYFCOTrCw6QePl?usp=sharing

Also my system specs are: i9-13900HX 5.4GHz

RTX 4080 12GB laptop

32GB DDR5 5600MHz

Windows 11

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

All your minidump file indicates that it is the device driver on your Nvidia graphics card that is causing the system to crash, there is no other problem indicated on your PC.

Really the only way to solve this problem is to install a slightly older version of the Nvidia drivers, it would be very unusual for a game to specify that you need a specific new version of the Nvidia drivers, what game indicates you need the latest version of the drivers?

Open the Minidump folder.

Select the new minidump file and press Ctrl + C to copy the file.

On your Desktop, press Ctrl + V to paste a copy of the minidump file, can you then upload that copy of the minidump file?

Your new minidump file also indicates the Nvidia drivers caused your system to crash, there is no other problem indicated on your system, try installing a couple of other versions of the drivers Nvidia provide on their website around version 561 to try to find a version of the driver that is stable on your system.
