Try going into Uplay, clicking on Watch_Dogs, and theres an arrow next to the Play button, under the drop down menu, click Verify Files.

It's got nothing to do with watchdogs, its "watchdog violation" my pc just bsod's about 15 mins after using chrome, or playing a game for about 2 minutes. It's only just started doing it today.

It didn't work, I have run into even more issues like not being able to connect to the Internet and it's blue screening even more. It was fine for about an hour I'm really confused to what the problem is.

As far as I know it is a CPU problem, do you have an OC running?

I did and I just changed it to stock, but the problem persists, my audio, my wireless, and games are just not working anymore.

For start set BIOS to default settings, wipe all drivers from your system and install latest drivers.

If this doesn't help, start updating your hardware's firmware. Start with SSD.

I've sorted it now, the method you said would've probably worked, however, in the end i just decided to reinstall windows 8 and now its working flawlessly. I think the blue screen may have just affected the OS, and so the drivers.

Cool man. Good thing you sorted this out. I'd suggest reinstalling Windows if those steps wouldn't work. :)
