Windows 10 BSODing without writing minidump

I got a minidump now.

I used a brand new ssd and installed a fresh windows 10 on it, updated it, installed the latest nvidia + motherboard drivers.
installed the minimal amount of softwares and used the computer.
After 3 days it bsoded and this time generated a minidump (again a dpc_watchdog_violation)

here it is :
