I've been getting just about every blue screen error under the sun which has made gaming a real chore. Off the top of my head I've had DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION and SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED most frequently.

My PC's been freezing a lot and also been disconnecting from the Overwatch servers a lot, but I'm not sure if that's related.

Would really appreciate some help fixing these errors.

Also, make sure you are up-to-date with Microsoft updates (monthly). If you still see blue screen issues, you will need to analyze the dump file that gets created to help point to your issue. There are a lot of tools out there to assist analyzing a dump file... Check the video below for an overview of the process.
