As far as that audio driver. that link you posted is Version 6.0.1.8010. I currently have the 6.0.1.8198 version of that driver release 6/26/2017. Like i said i am not to worried about the Audio Ports not working for that i have other ways around it. Unless that is the hardware issue you found in the debugging.
Time without crashes indicates stability.
Drivers can be tested using windows driver verifier.
Drivers will become corrupted like windows or other software.
So the most up to date drivers get corrupted and at times need to be reinstalled.
Windows will automatically update many non-Microsoft drivers. Sometimes the newer drivers produce BSOD and the drivers need to be rolled back to more stable drivers.
Ok I'll check out that driver verifier. I do believe the BSOD was caused by a corrupt or unstable driver for my Realtek RTL8811AU Wireless USB adapter. Like i stated i completely uninstalled that Driver (which was the newest one i recently updated all my drivers using a program called Driver Booster 4) and then just plugged that USB adapter back in with out updating the driver, for fear of having BSOD happen again. Now that i know how to fix it if i do update the driver and have that issue it is a quick fix. But the PnP driver that comes with it works just fine and dont think ill update it. The current driver information for this device follows. Driver Provider: Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Driver Date: 4/1/2016 Driver Version 1030.6.1201.2015 the newest driver info - Version: 1030.17.1101.2016 Date: 4/6/2017
On another note i did find a USB drive and had made it to a bootable drive to run memtest86 i am going to complete all the diagnostics with HD Tune and post all the results before running it. as i have stuff to do later and will have it run while i am out. as i understand it memtest86 scans and diagnostics is a lengthy process.
I am trying to File Benchmark in HDTune for my SSD, which i have my windows installed on, and it gives me an error -I/O Error! Test aborted.- I performed the error scan on this SSD and it didnt find anything wrong. do i need to edit any of the settings? Have File Length at 500mb and data pattern at Zero
The best drivers are from the computer or motherboard manufacturer.
The next best source is from the component manufacturer (nvidia, intel, etc.)
The component manufacturer drivers are modified by the computer or motherboard manufacturer for their computer configurations.
The software programs that install drivers creates uncertainty in the computer environment.
For these web sites you don't know what you are getting.
We have a significant number of BSOD related to drivers installed from these websites.
Typically we have them uninstalled and then new drivers installed from the component manufacturer.
Sometimes clean installs are needed to get a stable computer environment.
The Memtest86+ version 5.01 typically takes 1 -2 hours / GB RAM.
A substantial portion of the testing can be done overnight.
The best testing is done with the most number of passes.
Like all tests there are true positives, true negatives, false positives, false negatives, and accuracy.
So a minimum of 8 passes is needed to reduce the number of false negatives.
It sometimes takes passes into the 20s to find malfunctioning RAM.
Just 1 error is a fail and you can abort testing and then test 1 RAM module at a time in the same DIMM for 8 or more passes.
If at anytime there are BSOD please post a new zip into the thread:

here are the results of the HDTune tests. i do believe that is all the information you requested. all but the ADATA SU800 file benchmark. which as i stated is have an I/O Error. Did some research and will have to check on my connections to be sure it is all stable inside the computer. that was the only test on the ADATA SU800 i couldn't perform. Screen shots of the healths follows.

At 17 hours in 5 passes no errors yet. Have most of the HDTune scans complete. Just need to do 2 more. Should be able to post images by this evening
