Every now and then my computer crashes. The odd thing is the screen goes blank, but the sound still plays for a few seconds before the computer turns off. NO BLUESCREEN!, just turns off.
According to the minidump file, the crash was caused by:
dxgmms1.sys
ntosksrnl.exe
watchdog.sys

whoCrashed said that it was most likely watchdog.sys that is to blaime.

I have all the newest windows updates, and have updated to the latest GPU driver but nothing has changed.

minidump files if anyone is interested:

CPU temperature and GPU temperature is normal.

**I also realized that i posted this in the wrong section, hopefully someone can move it for me.

Do you think the motherboard is the most likely cause?
