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.

Hello again,
This fixed the issue for a while, but when running certain high graphics games, my computer would, after a while, gradually lose fps in those games, which would be solved by closing on opening the game again. However, in rare cases, the cursor (and audio playing) would start stuttering, before crashing. The BSOD stop code is WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR. I am unsure if this is a problem with the way the GPU is installed, or a problem with my CPU, or anything else.
