Greetings @Jake2001 

I'm thinking you have installed all available Windows 11: security, stability, and driver updates. Is this true?

Can you use Windows 11 (W11) now or do you see this Windows error screen (BSOD) every time you start the PC?

You would have to try a Windows Recovery Environment previous system restore point if you can't sign into Windows because it repeatedly blue screens.

Try the following stuff if you can use Windows:

Is this error reproducible if you try to play the same game again and you can use W11?

Since this error occurred while gaming it may be related to graphics card drivers.

But Check your PC's hardware first using HP Diagnostics as follows:

Start the PC. Repeatedly tap the "ESC" key.

Select "F2". Run extensive system and component tests to confirm: a drive problem, a memory problem, or other component problem.

Your PC probably has a driver problem if HP Hardware Diagnostic tests pass.

HP offered the following graphics card options when you purchased the PC:

Look in Control Panel>Device Manager for any driver errors. While you are there open Display adapters to ID your PC graphics card.

Go to the graphics card driver download site (Nvidia or AMD) to get the latest driver for your PC's specific graphics card. Install the driver.

Run the game again using the latest drivers to see how it goes.

Install the latest BIOS update for your PC available Here.

Windows in-place recovery:

Try a non- destructive W11 in-place recovery. Back up system disk data before doing a recovery to be safe.

Go to Settings>System>Recovery>Fix problems using Windows Update. Then select reinstall now.

Please refer to this Microsoft Site and associated links for technical DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (0x133) debugging information. This site is for programmers but it has general troubleshooting info in the "Remarks" section and other links to general troubleshooting steps.

You might have to contact HP Support if your PC is in warranty and you can't fix the blue screen problem.
