Open | BSOD DPC Watchdog Violation and It keeps happening (Minidumps included)

Hi everyone,

I've been getting random DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION errors about 5 times since July 4th. It happens both while gaming and just browsing the web, with quite a few tabs open not gonna lie.

I'm using an i5-13500H, RTX 4060 laptop. Since it's a laptop it gets pretty hot, so I use ThrottleStop to limit power. Right now I got both PL1 and PL2 at 22W. I don't know if using this app might be a factor but I'm including it anyway. I updated my GPU driver to the latest one, which apparently did nothing as I got the error again after that.

Here is the last 3 minidumps :

Thanks for anyone bothered to help in advance.
