How Do I Stop DPC Watchdog Violation Blue Screen?

I have been receiving pop up messages for the last month of so saying I should download Windows 8.1. Today, I went on my computer to check a couple things and it popped up again so I just decided to finally get it since I could let it download while I slept for a few hours. Now, ever since I got that, I keep on getting the DPC Watchdog Violation Blue Screen every time I get into a game of League of Legends. I haven't had this update long enough to see what else will cause it. This is getting extremely frustrating and I would like to know how to stop this. I have never been a huge fan of Windows 8, unfortunately, and this update so far isn't helping much. =/ 

P.S. I don't know if this makes a difference, but my computer is the HP Envy M6.

    I did the scan but it didnt say whether the drivers are up to date or not, and when i clicked on the product and "software and driver downloads" options it just took me back to the previous screen. When I click "scan my product" option (after the screen where you enter your product and hit scan now) nothing happens.

    You shouldn't have to scan, can you proceed manually to your product page and just download the latest drivers listed?

    Let's try just installing the latest drivers first, and we can uninstall and then install if it becomes a problem.
