Oddest hardware issue I've ever heard

My cousin loaned me his Creative Fata1ity headset to see how comfortable they are with glasses on (and they are pretty comfy)
BUT
with them plugged into the 3.5mm front audio jack my pc crashes, blue screen and reboots (hardware issue). This happens no more than 10 minutes into anything using sound - like gaming, and is easly duplicatable (just plug them in LoL) I even returned everything back to stock settings.
The fix: switch back to my old Logitech's and no more crashes at all.
I haven't used Creative stuff in many years, not since I found out what lousy customer support they really have but I wouldn't think headphones would/could cause BSoD's ever.
Has anyone else ever ran into this?
All I can think of is there is something in the impedance causing this or somekind of feedback being sent back up the line.
Haf 932 case
AMD 1055T currently at stock normally runs at 3.8ghz.
Gigabyte 890fx gd 01 motherbd
16gb corsair ram
2x 1tb 7200 rpm samasung f3's in raid 0
2x 320gb 7200 rpm seagates in raid 0
1x 2tb wd 5400 rpm

what resistance are the two sets, are they both 8ohm, or 16 and 8 ohm? if they are different, then the difference could be causing a voltage droop somewhere, but your system would have to be only marginally stable for that to happen. Thats the only mechanism that I can think of. I would have also thought it would be confined to a subsection of the mobo, and not be enough to cause a crash. Have you any OC's on, can you reduce them to test?
