HI i am receiving DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION blue screen dump error in my dell laptop with operating system installed windows 10 pro, but error is reported only when connected to the wifi

Blue screen: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

After a recent updating, my machine has blue screen every 5 - 10 minutes.

The error code is DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

I saw another post here which suggest to use "iastor.sys". But I don't have that in the driver list. Mine is storahci.sys.

Please advise! Thanks,

 

Blue Screen of Death (DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION) due to Smartbyte on Dell laptop

I am using a Dell G5 5590 laptop. I've been encountering BSODs (DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION) recently with a frequency of once every month or two. Another observation is that I got the blue screen when I was downloading a torrent through qBittorrent. When I checked the cause of the error from Dell support assist app, I've found out that SmartByte Traffic Control Callout Driver was the device which caused it. But, I've already uninstalled dell smartbyte application after I got the blue screen error for the first time. Please let me know what I can do to stop these errors from occuring.
