Whenever i have my brand new wifi adapter plugged into my pc, it comes up with an error and blue screens my computer, error "DPC_Watchdog_Violation" , i was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this.

that error tends to be a windows 10 issue. I'd try a quick search in their forums for fixes.
another thing to try is to uninstall the driver/utility package for the wireless adapter and just install standalone driver for it.

Or more widely:
"DPC_Watchdog_Violation" - Google Search
and
dpc watchdog violation usb wifi - Google Search
Kind of confirms the comment by plemans.
