Windows 10: PC recently started freezing while gaming

Hello, I have problem with my PC, after updating nvidia drivers to 572.65 my PC started to freeze while playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla it was recovering all the time just closing Valhalla itself I rolled back my drivers to 566.36, newer drivers were unstialled using DDU. I have also recently updated my BIOS to version 3.16, only thing I changed from default value was to turn on EXPO profile on mobo. Today I tought that my problem was solved, as I haven't encoured crash for a while and then my PC crashed, not only game was frozen, but my system as well, ended up with DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

Need assistance with game crashes and freezes after changing PC location

I recently relocated my stationary PC, and since then, I've been experiencing issues with both Steam games and other games. Specifically, when launching Steam games, the loading screen freezes after a few seconds, causing Task Manager to crash, ultimately requiring a PC restart. Additionally, non-Steam games tend to close abruptly after 2-3 minutes of gameplay.

Error Message: No specific error messages are displayed; however, the loading screen freeze for Steam games prompts Task Manager to crash.

System Information:

• Operating System: Windows 11
  
• PC Specifications: GPU gigabyte R69xt gaming oc, CPU i5 13600k, etc.
  
• Game Platform: facing issues with Steam games or other gaming platforms like epic games
  

Actions Taken: I have already taken the following steps to address the issue:

1. Updated all drivers.
   
2. Attempted various troubleshooting methods found online.
   
3. Updated the BIOS to the latest version.
   

Despite these efforts, the problem persists, and I am unsure about the root cause. Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
