Hey guys.. So Im experiencing a really weird thing. In the last 3 or so days Ive had around 5 hard crashes when I go and click Full screen on youtube videos, one of the crashes was even a blue screen that said something about watchdog violation but the rest of the times the screen just goes black and then the PC restarts. I cant figure out whats going on..

My specs are as follows..

Windows 8.1
Asus Maximus hero vii z97 mobo
4790k @ 4.6GHz
16GB Corsair dominator platinum
2x SLI titanX Hybrids
2x 240GB HyperX SSD running raid 0
1TB HDD

Anyone have any ideas why my pc is doing this to me?

i think this might be your problem google says "One of the most common is an SSD drive that has old firmware not supported by Windows 8. Another likely cause is an outdated driver for one of your hardware components. For example, if your sound card driver does not support Windows 8, simply plugging in a set of headphones could produce a DPC Watchdog Violation error." http://pc.net/helpcenter/answers/windows_8_dpc_watchdog_violation

hmmm.. actually now that I think of it, I think every time that it has happened was while I had my gaming headset plugged into the USB drive.
