Hi, as in my title, my conputer is in a weird state I would say.
Computer specs are:

GPU: AMD HD7850
CPU: Intel i7-3770K
Memory: 16 GB RAM (1866)
OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro

I am just wondering if the crash is caused by overheat on the graphic card. Normally if I don't do anything related to videos, my computer is fine. Every time when my computer crashes, I can see the bluescreen, but it just flashes out so I couldn't catch the proper error code. Please tell me what went wrong with my computer. Anything will be appreciated.
Thank you

Firstly, get a hold of some HW monitoring software like http://www.cpuid.com/

Then install these and monitor what sort of temperatures your are getting during computer use. Let us know what sort of maximum temperatures you are getting.

When was the last time you have refreshed your system i.e. reformatted, and reinstalled your OS?

Hi, I just refreshed the OS like a month ago. Normally my CPU temperature ranges from like 38-45°C I will keep you updated if I can see the temperature when my computer crashes. Thank you.

After being away for a couple days, this is the event log after the crash.

From the screenshot, it looks like something that you are plugging into the USB is not agreeing with your system. Have you been using an external USB drive or a USB Flash stick? It doesn't like something attached to USB. Then again it could be your mouse or keyboard too.

Go to your motherboard website and make sure you have the latest motherboard USB controller drivers. You might find that there is a USB 3.0 driver that may be required.

Hmm from what you said, it kind of reminded me that my keyboard sometimes connects/disconnects. I think that might be the problem but I am not too sure about it cuz I have plenty of USB attached to my computer (expanded usb port, webcam, usb port for my monitor, printer, mouse, keyboard) Most of them are still using USB 2.0 tho.
Thank you so much for looking into the issue and willing to spend time on this.
