DPC_Watchdog_Violation BSOD after adding an SSD drive

Hello all,

a few days ago I bought a Kingstone SSD drive for my DELL G15 laptop and ever since the laptop randomly freezes and requires a hard reboot and sometimes it gives me DPC_Watchdog_Violation BSOD.

I tried sfc /scannow, CHKDSK, check for FW updates, check for drivers and windows updates, nothing worked.
The issue happens faster if I accessed the hard disk and right-clicked on a folder.
Running games like Gears 5 from it also triggers the freezing issue.

I'm thinking of reinstalling Windows but I want to make sure first the issue is from the OS and not the new SSD.

Any help is appreciated.

OS: Windows 11 Home 64-Bit

Hello, and welcome to the forum. Is the new drive used as a secondary drive for storage or did you clone your old OS drive to the new ssd? If it is being used as a secondary drive, remove it. If the problem goes away, the issue would not appear to be a windows issue but a hardware issue. I am tagging @zbook on this thread.

Secondary SSD to put games on it.
I removed the SSD and used it on a desktop PC but it had no Issues though
