DPC Watchdog Violation, and hard freezes, multiple times a day

[hanmather]

Ive Been getting total freezes and dpc watchdog BSODs multiple times a day now for weeks. Ive had this computer for a couple years and never had any issues. Ive been upgrading it bit by bit but the only thing ive done semi recently was to add a second HDD.

Mostly the crashes happen when I start multitasking (work/gaming/streaming/music/watching videos), but with some games (pubg) it freezes everything even if that's all im doing. it seems to be gradually getting worse. I used to be able to do multiple things on three monitors without a problem and now i can do one, if im lucky. When you Google the bsod its so vague as to what the problem could be. Any insight would be awesome.

Specs:
Geforce gtx 1050 ti
AMD FX 6300 6Core processor
16GB ram
two 2 TB (ithink) HDDs

Thanks!

I had this problem recently and determined the problem was recent Windows Updates. I uninstalled all of the Windows Updates from 2018 and that fixed my problem. I hope this works for you, this error is indeed maddening.
