so just a few minuets ago I started up my pc, got to desktop in 10 seconds (Thank you ssd!) And the a few seconds later, It blue screens, keep in mind I have win 8.1, and the only info it says is: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION Now here's the thing, I DON'T OWN WATCH DOGS ON PC!! So, i'm guessing this is ubisoft trying to cover their asses about locking the higher fidelity graphics on pc...

lol, nope - it means you have a watch dog (such as a german shepherd) inside your pc keeping eye on the stuff you run. and he started barking because a dpc (which is a procedure or a program running) took too much time.

windows autorepair and/or reinstalling drivers should solve 8/10 problems :D

so I went searching on the internet and apparently a program I have called Himachi tends to cause this, and I uninstalled it and I haven't gotten the bluescreen! :)
