    --IM NOT SURE IF THIS THREAD SHOULD BE IN Q AND A BUT IT IS ALSO A BUG SO, SORRY STAFF MEMBERS IF I AM POSTING THIS IN THE WRONG FORUM--
    I was trying to load a map (small island usa) and as soon it got to "spawning player" on the loading screen my game froze then 5(ish) seconds the screen went to the blue screen with the error code "DPC_WACHDOG_VIOLATION" I looked it up and it is most common with computers that have SSDs (solid state drives) and Windows 8.
    --THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN SOLVED--
    MY PC SPECS (if needed)
    note: my pc was custom built by yours truly (me)​

    PSU (power supply)- EVGA supernova G3 series 1000 watt (a bit overkill for this pc )
    Motherboard- MSI 970A gaming pro carbon
    CPU- AMD FX-6300 6-core
    GPU (Graphics Card)- EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 TI scc gaming acx 3.0
    RAM- 8gb (single stick of ram)

    Uhh, I don't know where you've been looking, or what version of Windows you're using, but for Windows 10, this will probably help.

    I've had this sometimes while loading scenarios. The first time it happened, the map loaded and my car was all black, the game froze, and i got DPC_WATCHDOG BSOD. Now when it happens, I simply get a game crash and something about my graphics driver crashing or something.

    Here's the problem: nVidia's Windows 10 graphics drivers. Happens to me at least once a week.

    For me, it only happens when trying to load scenarios. Never happened when going to freeroam. What about you?
