DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION 0x133


My computer started freezing randomly after updating to Windows 10 (from win7). Mouse completely frozen, keyboard unresponsive. The only thing I could do was a hard reboot every time. I tried searching for info online and found lots of people with the same problem but no answers really. On some forum someone suggested unplugging keyboard, mouse, ... to see if that was the problem. When my pc froze again today I did just that. Started unplugging everything connected to my pc. While it didn't solve anything I did get a BSOD for the first time (coincidence?) saying I should look up more info about DPC_watchdog_violation error and that my pc would be rebooted...

googling the error code didn't yield much info so I'll try my luck here.
