Hi I have been unable to load into a game of League after my computer crashed with the error code: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION during the loading screen of a League game. This started today, after I restarted the computer the game would not load and this message popped up, not only did I lose LP but I also have not been able to rejoin another game because every time I load up a game this would pop up.

Does anyone know how to fix this, and thanks!

Started happening to me yesterday too. Would appreciate a solution if someone finds it!

This also happens to me every few games or so. Hopefully Riot finds a solution soon.

Update: I reinstalled League a couple of times, although it did not help, after I clean uninstalled and reinstalled league for the last time I decided to restart my computer. For some reason before restarting it still did not work, and the game client popped up which would get stuck at a loading percentage and the message would pop up shortly after. After I restarted my computer the game worked, and the error message would not longer reappear. I do not know why it stopped but I recommend these steps if you are having the same problem:

Use Hextech Repair Tool to reinstall.
Try to play in a customs.
If it does not work, restart PC.
If it still does not work clean uninstall.
Restart PC.
Load into customs.
