Hello my computer has been freezing/crashing over the past few months - I have still not managed to fix this problem. My computer will simply freeze (unable to do anything) and it will require a hard-reset, after restarting there will be no error logs etc.
This happens under GPU intensive tasks like watching videos in chrome/opera and playing games.
However today, when I was watching a video on YouTube - I noticed that everything started to slow down; mouse moment was extremely laggy - I managed to ALT-F4 out of chrome; after that I couldn't really do much, like bring up task manager etc. After a few minutes Windows finally blue screened with the error 'DPC watchdog violation'.
Things that I've tried so far:
Computer components:
CPU: Intel Pentium G3220 3.0GHz
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VII GENE Micro ATX
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory
Storage: Sandisk Solid State Drive 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB TWIN FROZR
Power Supply: Corsair RM 850W 80+ Gold

Things that I've tried so far:
- Reseated RAM and GPU
- Reinstalled GPU drivers (used display driver uninstaller and installed drivers from Nvidia's website)
- Moved GPU to another PCI-E lane (only one PCIE card installed in my system)
- I've ran the following tests:
- Heaven Benchmark 4.0 - NO crashes during test
- MSI Kombuster - NO crashes during test
- MEM-Test and Windows memory diagnostic test - NO RAM errors
