BSOD/freeze while playing AC Valhalla

[R3v0xPL]

Hi, recently started playing AC Valhalla and my PC started to randomly freeze but recovered from that, just crashed Valhalla, after 2 days it started to show me (after updating to 572.65 to fix black screen after windows logo) DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSODs, which I have narrowed with help of Microsoft Community to be nvidia driver related thing, but after changing drivers to different versions (572.16 - freeze, 560.34 BSOD, 566.36 - BSOD, 572.65 - BSOD)  (yes, I used DDU in safe mode to uninstall drivers and downgrade them). To be honest I don't know how I can fix that, previously I have played Spider-Man 2 on max settings without any problems, but AC Valhalla seems to be crashing my PC somehow, can anybody help me further narrow issue and fix it? Most BSODs happened after around 6-8h gaming session where latest one happened around 2 or 3 hours in game, but I was messing with FSR and HDR options in-game and in windows, could contribute to faster crash (game was still running when I was messing with that). Also noticed that my nvidia opengl driver in event log shows something related to having too low memory.

 

I don't know if that's related but recently I updated my BIOS to 3.16 version from 3.10 and turned on only EXPO profile for my RAM

 

Also my temps when gaming on max settings @2K resolution are around CPU 60-66 deg, GPU 68-73 deg

If there is need from me to upload any files, please inform me and ask for further information

if you haven't checked your ram try booting and playing with only one stick in every slot and also try with EXPO off

Oh I have forgot that I also tested my RAM with Windows thingy for testing RAM as well with MemTest86 (if I reckon) and both showed no problems with RAM

double check with using only one stick, and try with EXPO off

With DPC_Watchdog_Violation we often can't use minidumps because they don't contain the information we need, but we'll give it a go.

 

Go to C:\Windows\Minidump and check if you have any minidump files. If you do, go back to the Windows folder and copy the Minidump folder itself to the Downloads folder (You can use the desktop if you don't have OneDrive syncing files). Zip the copied folder and attach it to a post. Please follow the instructions to the letter as Windows doesn't like you messing with files in this location.

Ok, if somebody will encounter same problem as me in future, I fixed it by doing clean instalation of newest nvidia drivers (https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10/~/geforce-experience-driver-installation-failed.-how-do-i-manually-clean-install#:~:text= How do I manually clean install the,installation process%2C close any programs which...
