dpc watchdog violation error

[elkido122]

i was playing battlefield 1 and i got a message on origin from a friend. it made my screen go into windowed mode so i could see what he said. After this happened my computer locked up and rebooted telling me i had a "dpc watchdog violation" before the reboot. my main problem is i cant seem to find what caused that error to occur and cant find it in the event viewer. any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

I get those when I overclock either my CPU or memory too high.

Everything is at stock settings. Ram is at 3000 with the xmp profile selected. Is there any real way to see what caused it. I can't seem to find out
