Windows 10: Blue Screen of Death (Crash) When Playing Games

This is an issue I have been having for some time now. It only occurs when playing games and can happen at any time. I have gotten a few different stop codes, but it is usually Page Fault In Nonpaged Area. I have gone through countless forums and tried many fixes, but to no avail. I have completely uninstalled every driver and reinstalled. I have tested each stick of memory. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am to the point of tearing my hair out. Thanks.

Windows 10 Pro

This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

Windows 10 DPC_Watchdog_Violation

I play a lot of video games but recently any time I load up a game that is online I crash within an hour of playing then get the blue screen of death "DPC_Watchdog_Violations". I know you will need the Minidump files but there was
no option to upload it.

 

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Error (Windows 10)

Hello! Every time I try to play a game I get an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL blue screen of death. It only happens when I try to play a game. I installed new drivers two days ago. I think that might be the issue. How exactly do I post my crash dump files and
fix this? Thanks.

There currently are no crash dump files. They must have been cleared? The were there yesterday afternoon. I will have to play a bit to make it crash again.

 

Please report the progress of steps 8 - 11.

 

I turned off windows log files and dump files.

 

Please un-check memory dumps and Windows log files.

 

Nothing for step 10.

Step 11 -

 

Please un-check automatic restart so that you have time to view BSOD windows. In addition to a bugcheck the windows may display the misbehaving driver in the form *.sys.

 

Done. Should I now play until it crashes?
