Hello LTT Forum, I have built my PC not too long ago and am experiencing crashes in my games. I absolutely do not know what the problem is and have tried making many google attempts but they all just told me to update my drivers. I have tried uninstalling my graphics drivers and getting older versions but that still has not fixed my problem. I have not overclocked anything. My computer seems to freeze then just completely stop on a frame of the game then either gives me a bluescreen or just brings me to the desktop with no error. My bluescreen's error was a "WATCHDOG VIOLATION". Anybody wanna help me please?

WATCHDOG VIOLATION

Ugh, I have this issue when going to sleep and unplugging my laptop. Its apparently a drive issue. I experienced it with my new NVMe drive, for me I changed it once but still same issue, seems like my laptop sucks. Try finding drivers for the drive.

In my Kingston SSD Manager it says that I already have the latest drivers :( @SlashedM

check this out, I don't have many other ideas except trying to look at the Standard NVMe driver.

It was stable for a long time with no crashes until I bluescreen and its said dxgkrnl.sys for the error code. I did a quick google search on how I could fix that and they said update drivers so I thought getting more stable drivers would help and went to 457.51 and now I'm just crashing on startup.
