Windows 10: Windows 10 Blue Screen Error When Playing Games

I have a windows 10 gaming pc and im not sure why but when playing games, sometimes my PC will freeze and crash to a blue screen and it will give me the error: "DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION" and then it will reboot and work as if nothing happened. It happens maybe once or twice a day and I just want to fix it before any serious damage happens, if its possible to fix. Here are my system specs:
