Hi everyone,
My PC has been having crashes/BSOD upon loading games (usually Civ 7). I am getting a 'DPC Wathdog Violation_0x133' message upon crash, and the PC cycles back to the login screen.
Upon rebooting, the primary/dedicated GPU is sometimes not detected at all and I have to restart the system. Once the GPU is detected again, the issue stops and the system does not crash again until the same scenario the following day. Once a game is up and running, everything works fine (long sessions, high graphics settings/rendering). I am assuming this is GPU/driver related since it seems to only occur when loading graphics-intensive games. This crash has never occurred when not in a game.
I've tried a few steps (listed below), but would appreciate any insight you all might have.
Hardware specs:
CPU: Intel I9 12900K 3.2GHz
CPU cooler: ASUS Ryuo 240mm Liquid Cooler
Motherboard: ASUS Ryuo STRIX B-760I
Ram: GSkill Ripjaws S5 DDR5 6000 SDRAM 64GB (2x32)
SSD/HDD: Crucial MX500 4TB 3D NAND SSD
GPU: Zotac Nvidia GeForce 4070Ti 12GB GDDR6 192-bit
PSU: Corsair SF750watt SFX80+ Platinum
Chassis: Lian Li A4-H20 Mini-ITX
OS: Windows 11 Home 64bit
Monitor: ASUS TUF gaming 32in. 1440P VG32AQL1A
Things I have already tried:
Full re-install of Windows and all drivers
Remove all GPU drivers with DDU and update to latest Nvidia drivers (have done this a few times)
Revert to prior versions of GPU drivers (tried several older versions)
Confirm GPU is physially seated/wired correctly and have monitored temps during gaming, issue does not seem to be thermal-related.
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
My PC has been having crashes/BSOD upon loading games (usually Civ 7). I am getting a 'DPC Wathdog Violation_0x133' message upon crash, and the PC cycles back to the login screen.
Upon rebooting, the primary/dedicated GPU is sometimes not detected at all and I have to restart the system. Once the GPU is detected again, the issue stops and the system does not crash again until the same scenario the following day. Once a game is up and running, everything works fine (long sessions, high graphics settings/rendering). I am assuming this is GPU/driver related since it seems to only occur when loading graphics-intensive games. This crash has never occurred when not in a game.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
It would have been better if you analyzed the .dmp files for us to understand, but let's try to figure it out.
nvlddmkm.sys
This is typically a problem with your Nvidia GPU drivers.
After rebooting, the main GPU might not be detected at all, forcing me to restart the system.
Possible causes include a power supply issue or a motherboard BIOS problem.
PSU: Corsair SF750watt SFX80+ Platinum
How old is your PSU?
Motherboard: ASUS Ryuo STRIX B-760I
What BIOS version are you running?
Performing a full reinstall of Windows and drivers
Where did you obtain the installer for your operating system? Did you install it offline? Were you installing all necessary drivers manually in an elevated command while offline?
Chassis: Lian Li A4-H20 Mini-ITX
You're using a riser cable. I recommend testing without it—check if the GPU is seated properly in the motherboard's physical PCIe x16 slot. If the problem disappears, the issue likely lies with the riser cable.

Thank you for your prompt response.
My PSU is approximately 2.5 years old, matching the condition of the rest of the system.
BIOS on the motherboard is AMI 0401 [10/21/22].
Windows was installed from an external drive using offline mode. The source was directly from the MS download portal or store. All necessary drivers were installed via elevated command (admin) during offline installation, though not individually. Some drivers came packaged with me. The GPU driver was consistently downloaded and installed separately.
If necessary, I can open the case again to evaluate the riser cable problem. Your advice on this matter would have been unexpected for me.
I plan to perform a complete OS and driver wipe before addressing the hardware side again.
