I'm experiencing crashes caused by ntoskrnl.exe and it is giving me the air DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION I've tried updating drivers, updating the bios, and windows is fully up to date. I have run out of ideas to try and fix this issue. Any insight is appreciated.

[Update]
Well I went into the bios thing "F2" on startup, then I pressed "F5" a popup appeared, it said - "Load optimized defaults" did that and saved. (thanks for the patience with this issue so far)

Is there anything else that you wanted me to do?
 

[Update]
So, I updated my Atheros Driver and updated FireFox still happened sadly..

[The video drivers. Where are you getting these from?]
which one specifically? I'm confused at this point

[ DDU uninstaller in safe mode. ]
i did a "clean and restart" on the amd driver only and the issue still persisted
