Hey everyone! I just built my first PC and it's running smoothly for the most part, but I'm having an annoying issue. Occasionally, the screen just goes black and I get this error message: 'Stop code: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (0x133)'. This has been happening for a while now. I tried going back to some earlier software versions, which helped for a short time, but now the issue is back. Some days it happens only once, but other times it could happen every 30 minutes. I'm using Windows 11, so if anyone has any tips or needs more info to help diagnose the problem, let me know!

I've had similar issues before! Have you checked your backups? Sometimes BIOS tweaks or trying to set up new disks can lead to data loss. Just a friendly reminder to ensure your data is backed up before you make any changes. Also, here’s a link to a FAQ thread that might help: [FAQ Thread](https://www.examplelink.com)
Could you provide more details about your hardware setup? Also, check if your BIOS and chipset drivers are up to date. And it would be super helpful to see the minidumps if you can find them!
Here's what I've got: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, 32GB of Vengeance DDR5 RAM, Lexar EQ790 SSD, and an ASUS Prime RTX 5070 Ti OC 16GB graphics card. I think everything is up to date since I just upgraded my graphics drivers a few days back. Let me look into how to find those minidumps!
