Windows Crashing
my PC spec is
Operating system: Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Version 10.0.26100
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 8-Core Processor
RAM: 32.0 GB
Storage: SSD - 1.8 TB
GPU processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
Motherboard Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX
My PC continuous crashes when playing games for a few minutes, sometimes screen just goes blank and I have to hard power off and restart my PC as its unresponsive. On some occasions i get the BSOD, with DPC Watchdog Violation.
All my drivers are up to date.
Any help please with diagnosing what is causing my pc to crash would be greatly appreciated.

Keep an eye on your CPU and GPU temperatures while playing. If they are consistently reaching very high levels (e.g., 85°C+ for CPU, 80°C+ for GPU), overheating could be a factor.
FurMark is a good, demanding CPU stress test. Run the "Small FFTs" test to primarily stress the CPU. Monitor temperatures during the test. Windows Memory Diagnostic is a built-in tool, though less comprehensive than MemTset66. Search for it in Windows.
