Windows 10: BSOD when launching a game

Whenever I try to launch a game my laptop becomes unresponsive, and after a while, I get the BSOD with stop code "DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION". This has only been happening recently. I have tried running a full virus scan, check for errors in the memory, checked for driver updates and everything seems to be in order. Yet when I launch a game especially unity games the laptop crashes again.I went into the event viewer and saw 2 different types of errors I think for 2 different BSODs:The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000133 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000001e00,
