Modern OS's (Windows in this case) have stuff built-in to pretty much entirely prevent software from doing anything to the PC itself. Blue screens, freezing, and shutdowns are a thing of the past on properly maintained PCs.
As some friendly advice from my years of IT experience:
Is your system updated? Lack of updates could be what is causing this...
Start by making sure Windows is up to date first.
Next, make sure your Graphics drivers are up to date. Make sure you also have the correct drivers for your graphics card.
Finally, if these things don't solve the issue, check to see if your motherboard needs a BIOS update.
It's also possible your system is overheating. Make sure it is clean and that you don't have lots of dust and lint in your case. Use compressed air.
If you did all of the above and you're STILL having issues, your system may be running outdated or bad software. You could try uninstalling anything you don't need and make sure nothing runs at startup that isn't intended.
If you don't know how to do some of these things then you can simply research it. A simple search should provide you with all the information you need.
Good luck.
Edit Note: All of this is also assuming you meet the game's minimum requirements. Otherwise you will still have problems with the game, though your PC should still not freeze, crash, or etc. Again, that is something that should basically never happen on modern, well-maintained PCs.
I'm so tried.
Did you change anything in your system prior to it starting to freeze? Was it stable before the update?
Yeah literally the only thing I can think of is downloader a new browser (librewolf) which I uninstalled after the freezes. Otherwise there was 0 changes, I didn't touch bios/drivers until I had the freezing. :C
I already checked all that things, all my drivers are the correct ones, windows is up to date, already updated bios, my specs are above the recommended ones, my PC is relatively new, I bought it on January and I clean it twice a month so Idk wtf is happening, tried lots of things and nothing, literally I played like 50 hours without a single freeze, just started happening randomly and now it happens very often so I'm not playing the game anymore haha, noticed that I'm not the only one
Could very possibly be your Power Supply starting to fail then. I've seen that problem enough times to give it a distinct possibility.
It's a relatively common issue that tends to pop up with new PCs due to faulty power supplies. Sadly most PC builders, including both companies and individuals, cheap out on their power supplies (even I'm guilty of this, at times) which usually means that the power supply they bought has a relatively high fault-rate from factory.
Can explain things like a PC freezing up very easily... And after having put 50 hours of stress on the PSU from playing a brand new game, which tend to be taxing on GPUs (therefore withdrawing lots of power from the PSU), the faulty parts in the PSU start to fail. From my experience, if they don't start to fail immediately then faulty PSU's tend to fail after putting maybe 10 hours of stress on them. And 50+ hours isn't unheard of, as it also depends on the amount of stress (energy versus PSU's capacity).
Not saying that IS the problem, though. I would still think it is more likely a bad piece of software running in the background, as that is much more often the culprit on issues like this. However, I've seen it happen enough to say you might need to consider it a possibility.
Luckily, if your PC is new that also means it should still be under a warranty. So if you CAN diagnose and identify that as the issue then it shouldn't cost you anything to replace.
Edit: Just so you know I'm not talking out of my ***... I was an IT specialist for over 10 years. I guess I didn't mention that. lol... Anyway, PSU's are like the #1 part to fail on new PCs (by a landslide victory), from my experience. Though bad drivers and/or software is far more often the culprit on PC issues than bad hardware ever is.
Ty for the credentials btw lmao ~
I have a very high-end setup and a relatively new PSU I genuinely cannot imagine that being issue; at least a very much hope it's not. Also pc is def not new, lots of daily use for years.

Usually when opening a game, then DPC-Violation blue screen after frozen for 1 minute. I've been playing MHWilds daily then all of a sudden after no PC changes I've been having this issue. Computer will freeze up any time I try to boot the game or after a little while with no game open. Weirdly I was able to play R.E.P.O for an hour+ with no issues then when reinstall MHWilds it froze up again. I don't think it's specific to that game because it will sometimes happen without it; I just know that attempting to open it will 100% cause it. One time I managed to load all the way in before it froze again. I'm at 140+ hours and playing other games in-between and this is all completely out of no where.
What I did attempting to fix it
- Update Bios
- Reinstall AMD Chipset Drivers
- SFC Scan
- Memory Diagnostic (no errors)
- Reinstall Windows 11
- Make more space in all drives
- Uninstall a lot of unused apps
- Uninstall and Reinstall Graphics Drivers
- Reinstall MHWilds Game
- Verifity MHWilds Integrity
- Even Viewer consistent gives this error "The sxuptp service failed to start due to the following error:
This driver has been blocked from loading"
- Only variable that changed before the freezing was installing Librewolf, I uninstalled it; issue still present
Though I would think if that were the case, A LOT more people would be having the same issue. To be uncommon it would have to be a combination of several factors (like hardware + W11) or very specific settings or something along those lines...
In any case, I'm sorry I couldn't help more. I hope ya'll good luck in finding something that works! Or just hopefully, that it is fixed in the next patch by some chance.
I was wondering because I thought that maybe it's possible your system was not 100% stable. However, if you were running the game without any crashes, changed nothing, and it started immediately crashing after an update then I think it's fair to place the blame on the update.
Personally if I were you I would make sure your save is backed up, revert any overclocks, apply XMP/EXPO/DOCP, run memtest86+ for at least a couple of hours to stress test your memory, and try reinstalling the game.
If it still crashes after all of that I would shelve the game. It's pretty obvious it has serious issues and Capcom has a lot of work to do.
Edit: I see that you tried some of these things. Librewolf is simply a fork of Firefox so it shouldn't cause any issues. You mention reinstalling Windows so that confirms that.
Based on other users experiences you either run out of vram or vram.
What is your DxDiag report saying?
On first glance based on your descriptions I too would say there seems to be a critical driver error. Hopefully more a result of a faulty install rather than malware.
The watchdog notification definitely says it is either some hardware sare running out of their specs - so the recommended disabling of XMP/EXPO is recommended, in addition to check what other overclocked items you have.
In the past I have also seen very fascinating causes when people use Windows Home - all what is needed was another app taking main control of the GPU while you trying to play the game. Hence the old fashioned tips regarding clean boot and running everything as admin - or - how you would do if you are not using Windows Home.
