Occasional BSODs on a newly built gaming PC. Need help solving the issue.

I have been getting occasional BSODs on a newly built PC, with the computer slowing down and losing fps before crashing. Normally, the computer instantly restarts after crashing, but the past two times it has crashed, it remained on the BSOD screen, allowing me to see the stop code. The first was DRIVER IQRL NOT LESS OR EQUAL, and the second was DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION. I have run memtest86+ on my computer for over 7 hours and it passed 9 times without any errors. There is also nothing in my C:\Windows\Minidump folder, which I checked after the most recent crash.

    You need to copy it from the minidump folder and paste it into another folder or location instead of dragging it.

    I dragged the file to my desktop, tried to open it, and it didn't work. Then, I created a folder in a different location, and dragged the file into it, and tried to open it. Both times, it opened in WinDbg and denied me access.

    Did you move or copy and paste it into another folder?

    Ok, I have moved the file into a different folder, but I am still only able to open it with WinDbg and it still says I do not have permission. Am I supposed to zip the file and send it to you?

    Copy the file and paste it into another folder to be able to open the file or zip it.

    After using both commands, the driver verifier is disabled when you restart the computer.
