Windows 10: I keep randomly getting a DPC_Watchdog_Violation and I cannot figure out for the life of me...

Okay, so, whenever I leave my PC to idle for any period of time, recently I will come back to it having restarted. I have been able to watch a few of them happen because it has luckily, or unluckily happened as I was walking back to it. I've checked event viewer and the only critical error is Kernal-Power Event ID 41 that says "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpected
