Windows 8 crashed just recently and I wanted to figure out why (wasnt at the computer at the time so didnt see it happen). I just installed a graphics card 2 days ago and wanted to make sure the issue I have now is not being caused by it. I have noticed that the boot device led stays lit while in bios, but goes off when I exit to windows, or when I go to the EZ Flash Utility and back out of it into the bios. More info on that issue can be found here: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1800634/cpu-fan-issue.html
Im unfamiliar with how exactly to debug Windows 8 crashes, but apparently Windows has tools to download for that (I believe the name was Windbg). After grabbing that and running it here is what seems to be showing up:

^^ I don't understand all of this, but it looks like driver issues? Could someone shed more light on it?
