BSOD audio/video related?? Please help!
Hi there,
Desktop PC, WIn10 64 bit, no problems until yesterday. A series of BSOD which often occurr when watching some videos/listenings to some music/playing some games; so I think they could be related to the video or audio card. If I don't do anything or listen to any songs, BSOD seems not to occurr.
The error is always different, for instance "BAD_POOL_HEADER" or "unexpected kernel trap".
I ran memtest86 several times, no errors.
The audio and video cards are new (of a few months ago), while the mobo and cpu are much older.
Everything was fine until yesterday, but I didn't make any changes to the system!! The ASUS audio driver is the most recent one and installed months ago; the NVIDIA driver is the most recent too, installed on 21 December.
On the attached file you won't see the ASUS audio driver and software because I just uninstalled it, in order to see if it was the cause.
No overclocking, but the first time the BSOD occurred, right after the reboot there was a message of the BIOS saying something about the overclocking frequency/voltage which was not correct... but again, I haven't touched anything and never had problems until yesterday. The message didn't reappear on the next reboots.
I was also thinking if it could be somehow related to some "heat" problems, since the video and audio cards are quite close and when the BSOD occurrs the fans are always at high speed, the pc is under a certain stress.
Thank you in advance for your help!!
