My computer has been crashing constantly as of late with DPC watchdog. I have updated all drivers and cannot figure out what is happening. I have attached my log file hoping someone can help.

By the way the minidumps look, most of your crashes are DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. Windbg keeps pointing at ntkrnlmp.exe as the cause, which means that something else drove that process to fault. From what I read on this, its a driver issue which caused a DPC to take too long and the watchdog took action.
I see that you have already updated all drivers which was going to be my first suggestion. I see in one of the minidumps that you have a crash related to your Apple driver which comes with iTunes:
This is a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE bugcheck. If you havent already, I suggest you update iTunes which should update this driver. This could be the leading cause of all the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION crashes.
Also you have another bugcheck in your dump files:
FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE usually points to a hardware memory error, which means that you could have an issue with your RAM. This can also be the leading cause of all the DPC issues. To rule this out, download MemTest86 and burn it to a CD/DVD and boot from it, let it run for a bare minimum of 3 passes. Most of the time it is suggested to let it run for 8 passes for conclusive results.

FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE (12b)
This bugcheck indicates that a single bit error was found in this page. This is a hardware memory error.
Arguments:
Arg1: ffffffffc00002c4, virtual address mapping the corrupted page
Arg2: 00000000000007f8, physical page number
Arg3: 0000009e882c5680, zero
Arg4: ffffd00022642000, zeroI have just run 10 passes of <a href="http://www.memtest86.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">MemTest86</a> via the USB option with no errors at all. I have re-installed Itunes and rechecked all my drivers with driver detective. I went to run a youtube video which had been one of the sources of the crashes and sure enough that watchdog bit me again. so I restarted and tried to fire up FFXIV and it crashed just after log in. I have attached the latest dump fileView attachment 66232
