Windows 10: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION on ESPN website

This started happening in the last several days but only when ESPN.com is open. BSOD with www.windows.stopcode and the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION followed by several minutes while it sends the "error info" and then reboots. Sometimes it happens when opening the page on Google Chrome (if the page is slow to load) and sometimes it will run for 30 minutes before it happens. I tried loading the page on Edge and it happened almost instantly. But has ONLY happened on ESPN. Could it be because ESPN is still an http and not https? Could ESPN be causing it by making the page load slow because I use an Ad blocker? Any recent changes to Windows 10 that would cause this?


Has happened over a dozen times in the last week and has me frustrated enough to use other sports sites for scores etc but sometimes they are the only game in town to watch a college BB game.

I have the same issue with ESPN on two different laptops. Started on the 18th of January. I have updated drivers, performed check disk, read Microsoft's useless suggestions for a remedy. All to no avail. All other websites function properly. I would be interested
in any ideas as to the solution.

I finally got my Minidump (.dmp) files open and the two I still have both show the same problem: Symbols could not be loaded for IDSvia64.sys which is a Norton file. Couldn't find anything recent on their forums so will
have to post there and see what they say. Still strange that it ONLY happens on ESPN.

Some old posts showed people uninstalling Norton and reinstalling but no explanations as to why and it did not always solve the problem.
