Windows Crashed with DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION when toggling a light's visiblity

Hi everyone,

Upon trying to toggle a spot light as visible, the entire editor froze up and, after a few minutes, crashed my computer with a BSOD. Alongside it was the error DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.

I’m not really sure what could have caused this error, but I have had plenty of issues with the editor on this machine specifically. I’ve been suffering many DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET editor crashes, but this is the first time my entire machine has crashed as a result of using the editor.

I wish I could give information, my apologies. For what it’s worth, my specs are below:

OS: Windows 10
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K @ 3.50GHz
GPU: 1023MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti (EVGA)
RAM: 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 823MHz (9-9-9-28)

Please let me know if you need any other information. Thanks!

Is it a reproducible error?

Since DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION is a pretty generic windows error.
