DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD error

[Sawulej]

Hi,

my PC recently got couple of DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD error. It usually takes place when I turn the PC on or off. I upgraded the PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11 with hope that it would help but, unfortunately, it didn't. I checked crash dump files and it doesn't show anything particular to me or, perhaps, I simply don't know how to troubleshoot it. 

Here's what WhoCrashed prompted (it's in spoiler):

The following dump files were found but could not be read. These files may be corrupted:

It clearly shows the problem with amdgpio, but whenever I try to update the driver either by Windows Update or downloading them through the AMD's website, it also crashes, showing the same BSOD error. 

PC's spec:

AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega Graphics (Vega 😎

RAM: 8GB 3200Mhz

OS: Windows 11 Home

Thanks in advance 🙂
