  1. Watchdog Violation / Dots on screen


    I bought a new pc about 2 months ago, (https://www.amazon.com/iBUYPOWER-Co...MHY8YMXV6EDZETC0YVK2&qid=1561844390&s=gateway) And for the past 2-5 days ive has "dots" appear on my screen occasionally when i play the games "Heroes of the storm" or "world of warcraft". It would make my screen go black sometimes and run really slowly. I have reset my computer and reinstalled the game, and the black screen issue seems fixed, but the dots are still there. They are small to medium sized and are varying colors appearing in the top left and top right of my screen. My computer crashed at one point and gave me the BSOD saying "DPC_Watchdog_violation" .

    :)
