Consistent DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION

[AvalonXD]

Every time I activate any form of internet connectivity on my laptop around 4 minutes from doing so (or the last crash) the computer crashes and displays an error message. It's usually the error above but sometimes it's different but that's rare.

As such, I can't connect to the internet at all though admittedly I haven't been able to try ethernet yet but wifi, USB connections and so on are all down. 

The laptop is an HP Pavillion with an Intel Core i5. I think it's a Pavillion 15 p002nia. It started as a windows 8 then it was updated to 10. Here's a link to a few crash dumps. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10AcjWBdb2D2tKOKsgd-RPhIDBFI0owhg/view?usp=drivesdk

Sorry I just saw this now. I asked this on a number of sites and updating the BIOS was one thing that I think helped a lot so I accepted that answer though I also had multiple antivirus programs and deleting one also may have solved it. Thanks a lot.
