This may be long, but please bear with me, I could really use the advice...

Hey all, I built my current PC about 3 years ago..

i7 2600k
Gigabyte z68
Corsair Vengeance 16GB
XFX 1000W PSU
1TB Seagate Barracuda
120GB Crucial M4
Windows 7 Home 64

Originally had two GTX 560ti's, replaced them with two GTX 770's about a year or so ago.

All of my peripherals are Razer products, Blackwidow Ultimate board, Naga Epic mouse, Megalodon headset.

I was using a Deathadder, but added the Naga Epic around January of this year.

Slightly before that, I started noticing problems (two in particular).The first: My curser would start blinking really fast, like a strobe light (without the light obviously). If I went to click on, let's say, the start menu, the menu would then strobe out until I pulled the mouse off of it. This was happening with both the Deathadder and the Naga Epic. And it was random, not a constant thing, I could be on the computer for a few hours, and then it would start. The only way to get it to act normal was to completely remove the Razer Synapse software from the computer (which obviously removes any settings saved for those peripherals). I tried updating, I tried re-installing, all ended with the same result.

The second: I gave the headset to my wife to use for gaming (it worked fine for me on my PC. However, now, if I plug it back into mine, when I go into the sound settings to make the Megalodon my default speaker system instead of the normal speakers, I instantly get a BSoD (blue) with a memory dump error. I have to restart the computer. Switch them back to the normal speakers and everything is fine. This only seems to happen when I switch over to the megalodons. This happens regardless of Synapse being installed or not. Any ideas what's causing this?

I'm basically tired of Razer products because of this stuff, but I want to make sure it's not something worse going on deeper within the PC. I've since switched my mouse to the Corsair M65, and have a Corsair K95 keyboard being delivered today, so I won't have any Razer products on the PC.

Any clue as to what could be happening? Is Razer just getting worse and worse? Should I be worried about my Memory/Mobo? Something else? It's basically the only two issues with my PC, ever, and it's always seemed to be fixed once the Razer issue was out of the picture.
