hey there, while i am trying to play skyrim and fallout new vegas on my laptop(win8 64bit) i get every 1 hour or so dpc_Watchdog_violation causing my system to crash and restart. anyone ever experienced that? and no does not happen with other games stritcly restricted to bethesda games. i also contacted win8 support but they could not also find a solution. thanks!

I heard that's a somewhat common issue with windows 8. See if these links can help.
