Hello!
I have a problem with some BSOD's that I get mostly when gaming.
I get DPC Watchdog Violation USUALLY while gaming, sometimes when I'm not.
I happens at least twice a week and it's been going for a very long time now.
I've been told to disable fast startup, fix windows, try windows 7, try windows 8, try windows 8.1 (using currently), update drivers and more. I tried everything I was told and nothing worked.
Examples for when it happens:
Using Xsplit Gamecaster (almost always)
Playing League Of Legends (not so often)
Playing Heroes Of The Storm (once)
Using Google Chrome (happened many times but it's mostly fine)
Playing Tomb Raider (twice)
Playing Watch Dogs (almost always)
And much more.

Another thing I've noticed is that when I'm going to System Information and look at my BaseBoard Model, it says unavailable (CPU-Z does recognize my MoBo unlike windows).

I would really love it if someone could tell me what to do :<

Here is my spec (don't judge what I bought and be serious please):
MoBo: ASUS P8P67-m pro
CPU: Intel i7 2600k (no overclock and barely heats)
CPU cooler: Cooler Master V8 GTS
PSU: Cooler Master V1000
GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming
Case: CM Storm Enforcer
HDD's: ST33000650NS (3TB), ST91000640NS (1TB, got 2 of em')
Keyboard: SteelSeries APEX
Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma
Headset: SteelSeries Siberia V2 Heat
SSD: None
Screen: Unknown (something of asus that has HDMI)

I wanted to write literally everything I could so that if one of them causes it, you might have a solution.

So help me please? :D
How do I fix this BSOD?

As I wrote above I have already tried updating drivers and I did update my BIOS... :(

From what ive been able to find if all your drivers/BIOD/Firmware is up-to-date its possible that some software thats installed (anti-virus) could cause those issues. I would uninstall any suspicious software one at a time to try to locate what might be causing this issue.
